Three lines in Sagamu, running on a steady rhythm.
Our plant makes tablets, oral liquids and powders for our own range and for brand owners. It runs two shifts, six days a week, on grid power with solar and gas backup.
01The lines
What each line makes.
Granulation, compression and blister packing for tablets and chewables. Two presses with a combined output of 240,000 tablets an hour and an inline metal detector before packing.
- Weight and hardness checked every 30 minutes
- Blister seals tested for leaks on every shift
- Batch sizes from 200,000 to 2 million tablets
Syrups, suspensions and topical liquids, mixed in stainless vessels of 2,000 and 5,000 litres and filled into bottles from 60 ml to 5 litres.
- Purified water made on site and tested twice a day
- Fill volume checked by weight
- Caps torque tested at the start of each run
Oral rehydration salts, nutrition powders and fortified food mixes, filled into sachets and tins in a humidity controlled room.
- Room held below 40% humidity
- Sachet seals pull tested
- Up to 180,000 sachets a shift

03How a batch is made
Six records for every batch.
- 01
Batch record issued
The quality team issues a numbered record. Nothing is weighed without one.
- 02
Dispensing
Materials weighed in a closed booth, each one scanned against the record.
- 03
Processing
Mixing, granulation or filling to set times, speeds and temperatures.
- 04
In process checks
Operators record weight, hardness or volume at fixed intervals.
- 05
Packing and coding
Packs printed with batch number and expiry, then counted into cartons.
- 06
Review and release
The record goes with samples to Ibadan. Release happens only after every test passes.
04The people
Two hundred and ten people across two shifts.
Most of our operators live within twenty minutes of the plant, and many started as packers. Every operator trains for six weeks before they run a machine alone, and every supervisor holds a recognised certificate in good manufacturing practice.
Staff buses run from Sagamu town, Ikenne and Shagamu interchange at 6am, 2pm and 10pm, so shifts start on time whatever the traffic is doing.
05Questions about the plant
For partners, inspectors and visitors.
Can I tour the plant?
Yes. Trade partners, students and health officials can join a tour on the first Thursday of each month. Book through the contact page. Visitors wear gowns and stay in the corridor gallery.
What standards do you work to?
We follow good manufacturing practice and are inspected by the national regulator. Our inspection certificates are available to trade partners on request.
Do you make prescription medicines?
Yes, for supply to licensed pharmacies and hospitals only. They are not listed or sold on this website.
What happens when the power goes?
The lines switch to solar and gas within seconds. A full stop would mean the batch in progress is quarantined and reviewed.
Have a product you want made?
Our contract team quotes in five working days, with samples in four weeks for most formulations.
