Scorpius Holdings Achieves Major Milestone with cGMP Facility Validation for Microbial Manufacturing

Gaining operating efficiency through transition to an internal environmental monitoring team

DURHAM, N.C., May 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Scorpius Holdings, Inc (NYSE American: SCPX), (“Scorpius” or the “Company”), an integrated contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO), today announced the successful validation of its microbial facilities, marking a significant milestone in the Company's operations. This validation signifies that Scorpius’ microbial cleanrooms are now officially approved to manufacture current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) microbial biologic drugs, underscoring the Company's commitment to quality and regulatory compliance.

Scorpius facilities have already garnered considerable interest, with a backlog of bookings from client programs. This achievement not only demonstrates Scorpius' capability to meet the regulatory and client driven high standards required for contract manufacturing of microbial biologics but also highlights the trust and confidence its clients place in its services.

In conjunction with the facility qualifications, Scorpius is also streamlining its operations by transitioning environmental monitoring responsibilities to internal teams, while it migrates from the previous reliance on third-party services. This shift is expected to allow for greater efficiency, further enhancing the Company's robust ability to deliver high-quality biomanufacturing services.

“Scorpius has experienced strong interest in our microbial capabilities, and we continue to add additional opportunities to our pipeline for 2024 and 2025,” stated Jeff Wolf, CEO of Scorpius Holdings. “This validation confirms our commitment to high-quality, state-of-the-art microbial production.
