Aspen South African Operations serves as Aspen's flagship pharmaceutical manufacturing site in Gqeberha, Eastern Cape. It is described as the largest site of its kind on the African continent, equipped for both domestic supply and exports. The site comprises six facilities that manufacture and pack a broad range of pharmaceutical products, from oral solid dosage forms (including niche high-potency products) to sterile products such as liquid vials, ampoules, eye drops, and lyophilised vials. The site holds accreditations from SAHPRA and several international regulators, including the FDA, MHRA, EMEA, Anvisa, TGA, and the WHO. The overarching objective is to increase access to high-quality, affordable medicines. Recent developments indicate expansion of sterile manufacturing capabilities at the Gqeberha site to support vaccine production at scale.
