GMP Vessels

Meeting the Demands of Modern Manufacturing

In the sphere of modern manufacturing, strict adherence to quality standards and regulatory guidelines is paramount. GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) vessels have emerged as essential components in industries such as pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, cosmetics, and food processing, where precision, hygiene, and product integrity are of utmost importance.

Suncombe’s GMP vessel tanks are designed to meet the unique requirements of GMP-compliant facilities, providing a range of benefits that optimise production processes and ensure the highest levels of quality and safety.

Peter Timotheou Operations Director, Tims Dairy Ltd

“ I would not hesitate to recommend or to use Suncombe again in the future. Throughout this project from design to build and test they delivered at every single milestone in terms of date and budget.

Fearghal Downey Hyde Engineering + Consulting

“ As well as one project for Roche in Shanghai, we’ve worked with Suncombe on projects for Novartis in Switzerland, and most recently in Spain. The communication was good. Their documentation was brilliant. …if you asked me whether I'd work with Suncombe again – I’d say ‘definitely’ ”

Andrew Lemaire Director, DEC Group

“ We're happy with the machine [the washer], the performance, the build quality, everything. It ticks all the boxes and it does what’s required. It’s robust and reliable, and just ticks along in the background, which is exactly what we need. ”

John Large Technician, BCM Specials

“ I worked closely with Suncombe to develop and manufacture wash booths for several secondary pharmaceutical applications. Manufacturing workmanship has always been superb and occasional quality issues addressed quickly and efficiently. Management commitment and support is second to none. ”

Peter Slee-Smith Operations Director, Matcon (2001 to 2008)

“ It's definitely the most complex filtration, cleaning and sterilisation process I’ve worked on. Their technology knowledge was very impressive and their ability to build bespoke units was very impressive too. Also, I think just the friendliness of the team really helped; it was a nice group of guys to work with. ”

James Finn CEng MIChemE, Senior Process Engineer at Integrated Project Services Ltd

“Suncombe have been excellent. They’ve supported us with aftersales servicing and calibration needs... They’ve recently assisted us with a non-Suncombe skid, too, which has been a great help in extending the life of this asset. I always get a quick response to any requests for help. A very professional and courteous service.”

Graeme Forbes - Manufacturing Engineer - Thermo Fisher Scientific

Despite what some might say, it is possible to have fond memories of HAZOPs and if the Suncombe team are attending you know they will have excellent technical representation from their team which really makes everyone’s lives a little easier 😃.

Tony Smith - Animal Services Capability Leader at The Pirbright Institute (retired)

Our good friend “Google” helped me track down “Suncombe” and that got me in contact with the team. With the little information I had, they were able to track the original installation that had taken place in the UK back in the early 2000’s. From there they were able to trace all the paperwork and offer us it on as electronic documents which enabled us to get it to the engineers in Malaysia in double quick time. We were certainly having a bad day but Suncombe turned it into a very good day.

Tim Withers General Manager, First Grade International Limited
