The Pharmaceutical Industry's Shift from "Manufacturing" to "Smart Manufacturing"

The pharmaceutical industry is undergoing a major transformation—from traditional "manufacturing" to intelligent "smart manufacturing." Innovation in new drugs and advanced complex formulations has become the key to breaking away from homogeneous competition.

As a leading enterprise in the steroid hormone field, Xianju Pharmaceutical is making a strategic move into the high-end market with its liquid formulation project, designed for an annual production capacity of 52 million bottles (or units).

WISKIND, with its professional metal envelope system solutions, provides strong technical support for the client's industrial upgrading.

Professional Design for Pharmaceutical Production

With a total construction area of 82,960 square meters, the project mainly produces sterile liquid preparations and inhalation formulations—high-end dosage forms that demand exceptionally strict environmental conditions, including precise control of temperature, humidity, and cleanliness.

Traditional concrete exterior walls are prone to aging and cracking, which can lead to extra maintenance costs and potential quality risks. Therefore, a more reliable, stable, and durable building solution is essential.

In pharmaceutical facility design, every detail matters to product quality.

The comprehensive building is strategically located at the southwest corner along the main road—reflecting the company’s modern image while ensuring smooth and efficient integration with other functional units.
The quality inspection building is connected to the production units through a corridor system, minimizing the distance for sample delivery while maintaining stable temperature and humidity conditions, thereby reducing any potential environmental impact during transport.

In the production workshops, natural light sensitivity was carefully considered. Only essential emergency and ventilation windows are installed to avoid quality risks caused by excessive daylight exposure.
Ceiling heights were precisely calculated and adjusted according to the equipment needs of each zone, optimizing space utilization while significantly reducing HVAC and purification system energy consumption.
These design decisions demonstrate a deep understanding of the specific requirements of pharmaceutical production and a strong commitment to product quality.

Modern Expression Inspired by Local Culture

The Xianju Pharmaceutical project is located in Xianju County, Taizhou, Zhejiang Province, an area known for its landscape described as "eight parts mountains, one part water, and one part farmland."
To maintain visual consistency with the existing facilities, the two new production workshops adopt the same architectural style as the original plant. The horizontal blue lines, derived from the company's logo color, symbolize the purity and precision of modern pharmaceutical manufacturing.

The design of the comprehensive building draws inspiration from the Yangfeng Mountain terraced fields in Xianju. The alternating use of metal and glass curtain walls, arranged in a four-level stepped form, vividly reflects the terraced landscape through contemporary architectural language.
Under sunlight, the metallic façade exudes a sense of calm professionalism, achieving a harmonious balance between function and aesthetics.

Professional Empowerment and Precision Implementation

With an in-depth understanding of the pharmaceutical industry's unique needs, WISKIND provided a customized metal envelope system solution for this project.
To meet the client's requirements for environmental stability, energy efficiency, and aesthetics, the project adopted FM-approved ColorGEM® sandwich panels, featuring a four-sided interlocking joint structure that ensures excellent wind resistance and airtightness, while offering a clean and refined appearance.

For the complex architectural forms, precise multi-panel layout planning and factory pre-bent purlins were used to achieve the intricate façade effects perfectly. This approach guarantees both construction quality and project schedule control, truly integrating technology with architectural excellence.
