Blending Talent and Technology
Whether a CDMO is designing a new facility, investing in state-of-the-art equipment and new technology, or building a relationship with a pharmaceutical partner, the difference-maker is often the same: their people. The highest quality products and customer service come from hiring the right people and giving them the tools and freedom to be their best.
Team members must have the knowledge and experience to make wise choices, the patience to pay close attention to detail, the personability and availability for open communication and the passion to carry a project across the finish line on-time and on-budget. At GRAM, we look for all these traits and more, particularly integrity, positivity and critical thinking.
- Integrity: We value a high-quality culture, created largely by looking for people who value honesty. Our employees demonstrate the ability to be accountable for themselves by doing what is expected without having someone constantly watching over their shoulder.
- Positivity: Positive people keep organizations moving forward. At GRAM, our people have the confidence and drive to keep morale high throughout our organization and inspire cross-department collaboration.
- Critical Thinking: This industry doesn’t work like clockwork and occasionally, it throws a few curveballs. We handpick our senior level managers to handle this variability. They have the agility to pivot on a dime, responding with solutions and new ways of thinking.
Drawing on our collective wisdom and uncommon attributes, our “GRAM-ily” then has the characteristics to make important decisions. For instance, when embarking on our most recent expansion, we chose flexible production systems because we wanted the ability to handle clinical and commercial batches, and the agility to react to the varied needs of our partners and the evolving pharmaceutical industry. For the new facility, we also selected like-minded partners – SKAN, IMA, Bausch+Ströbel, CRB, etc. – based on their ability to work together, their tendency to be flexible, and above all, their quality-centered mentalities.
The team at GRAM gave these investments careful consideration with our valued clients top of mind. No matter the project or initiative, working with GRAM means that clients will receive a right-sized blend of personalized attention and superior technical expertise.
