Pharmaceutical plants, from bare ground to first batch.
Fabtech Technologies Ltd is a global pharmaceutical engineering company, headquartered in Mumbai and listed as FABTECH. You work with one partner, one team, from concept design to qualification. That covers cleanrooms, HVAC, water systems and process equipment. We build oral solid dosage, injectable, biotech and API plants. Global bio-pharma companies build with us across Africa, the Middle East, South Asia and Latin America.
The market's rules shape the design from the start.
Before we order a single wall panel, we shape the layout to the standard of the market you will supply. That standard depends on where your medicine will be sold. The inspector's checklist is the first layer of the design.
Clean, filtered air reaches every room.
HEPA filters remove fine particles from the air for each room. How often the air changes each hour depends on the room's class and the heat it makes. The clean air flows over the product wherever it is open. Your particle counts will show it on every batch record.
The rooms stay clean while production runs.
Each zone of the plant has its own class of cleanliness. People and materials move between zones through airlocks (small rooms) and pass boxes (wall cabinets). The air pressure steps down from the cleanest room and never flows backwards. We size the rooms for the hardest day of production.
Pure water and steam, to pharmacopoeia standard.
Our systems make purified water by RO and EDI, two purification steps. They make WFI (water for injection, the purest grade) by multi-column distillation, and they make pure steam. Pipe loops carry them to every point of use, built to ASME BPE where the specification calls for it.
Months later, the plant starts production.
The time to build a new sterile plant is set at the design stage. It depends on the scope, the dosage form and the market you supply. One contract protects that date from delays between different suppliers.
The standards we build to
We fix the standard your inspectors will check on day one. That standard shapes every design, every weld and every interlock. Our plants are built to withstand inspection under the USFDA (United States), MHRA (United Kingdom) and TGA (Australia) schemes.

Where we build
We have delivered plants in Africa, the Middle East, South Asia, Latin America, Europe and North America. They make oral solid dosage (tablets and capsules), injectables, vaccines, biotech products and APIs (active pharmaceutical ingredients). The full list is on the projects page, with separate pages for the Middle East and Africa.
We delivered cleanroom systems and HVAC for a research and development facility. We completed the project within one year, during the pandemic lockdown.
Vaccines and biosimilars are made with living cells. The room protects both the product and the workers, so its air pressure differs from a tablet plant. We have built a BSL-3 laboratory. Mechnikov in Nicaragua is a vaccine plant planned at about 9,000 square metres, as its case study states. See biosafety level 3 installations. Read about our turnkey biopharmaceutical facilities.
Mechnikov, Nicaragua
Oncology
Oncology medicines treat cancer. They are so strong that a very small amount can harm the people who make them. We build contained suites for cancer medicines. Isolators, sealed cabinets with gloves set into the wall, keep the product away from the operator. Read about our oncology projects. See how an oncology manufacturing facility is laid out.
Sudair Pharma, Saudi Arabia
Oral solid dosage and liquids
Oral solid dosage means medicines you swallow: tablets, capsules, granules and powders. Liquids include syrups and suspensions. We build these plants and supply the process equipment, such as granulators, fluid bed processors and tablet coaters. Fidson Healthcare in Nigeria planned six dosage lines in one plant. Fabtech's contract covered the cleanrooms, HVAC, utilities, high purity water and laboratory. See our approach to oral solid dosage facility design.
Hospitals and healthcare
Operation theatres and hospital cleanrooms follow a different standard from a medicine plant. A hospital also cannot close while the work is done. Our guide to HVAC and cleanroom panels for hospital operation theatres explains the design. We designed and built operation theatres for Burjeel Hospital in the UAE.

We also build plants for ointments and creams, veterinary medicines, and medical devices such as IV cannulas, syringes and rapid diagnostic test kits. See all the industries we build for.

Its group companies
Fabtech Technologies Ltd is a listed public limited company. Its registered office is in Andheri West, Mumbai, and it trades on the stock exchange as FABTECH.
The company first offered its shares to the public in a public issue (IPO). Its offer documents are in the investors section: the draft red herring prospectus, the red herring prospectus and the prospectus. The annual reports, financial results, shareholding pattern and intimations to the stock exchange are there too. We add announcements, newspaper articles and events as they are published. For investor contact, see investor grievance.
Group companies
Fabtech Technologies Cleanrooms Ltd is a separately listed group company. It has its own listing, its own board and its own reports. If you want to buy cleanroom products or installation in India, please contact that company. This website covers international turnkey plants and the equipment that goes inside them.
Other companies called Fabtech
Several businesses that are not connected to us also use the name Fabtech. People who search for "Fabtech Technologies Private Limited" or "Fabtech Engineering Private Limited" are often looking for one of them. Fabtech Projects & Engineers is a different company. The American FABTECH metal-forming exhibition is a trade show.
Questions we are often asked
What does Fabtech Technologies do?
We design and build pharmaceutical, biotech and healthcare manufacturing plants under a single turnkey contract. We cover everything from the feasibility study to the first batch you can sell: concept and detailed design, the cleanrooms, HVAC, water systems, process equipment, automation, installation and qualification.
Which Fabtech is this?
We are the listed engineering company in Mumbai that trades as FABTECH. Other businesses also use the name, and they are not connected to us: Fabtech Projects & Engineers, the companies people search for as "Fabtech Engineering Private Limited", and the American FABTECH metal-forming exhibition.
Is the company listed, and where are the IPO documents?
Yes, it is listed as FABTECH. The offer documents from the public issue are in the investors section of this website, with the annual reports, financial results and shareholding pattern.
What is the relationship with Fabtech Technologies Cleanrooms Ltd?
It is a separately listed group company, with its own listing and its own website. For cleanroom products and installation in India, go to fabtechcleanroom.com. This website covers international turnkey plants and the equipment that goes inside them.
Which industries do you build for?
We build plants for the pharmaceutical industry: injectables and sterile products, vaccines and biosimilars, oncology (cancer medicines), and oral solid dosage and liquids. We also build for ointments and creams, veterinary medicines and medical devices, and we build hospital cleanrooms and HVAC. The engineering is shared. Each room's standard and regulator change.
Which regulatory standards do you design to?
We design to US FDA cGMP, EU GMP Annex 1 and WHO GMP. Our plants are built to withstand inspection under the USFDA (United States), MHRA (United Kingdom) and TGA (Australia) schemes. We fix your market's standard at the design stage and follow it in every design, weld and interlock.
Where does Fabtech operate?
We are headquartered in Mumbai. Delivered projects include Sudair Pharma in Saudi Arabia, Mechnikov in Nicaragua, Fidson in Nigeria and an isolator project for Umicore in Argentina. We have also worked in Egypt, Kenya, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.
Who runs the company?
Ashwani Kumar Singh is the Chief Executive Officer. Hemant Mohan Anavkar is Promoter and Executive Director. Naushad Alimohmed Panjwani is an Independent Director and chairs the board.
Can you expand a plant without stopping production?
Yes. A brownfield expansion is work on a plant that is already running. We plan it around your live production, with phased shutdowns, temporary containment and re-validation, so that output continues while the plant grows.
How long does a facility take from concept to first batch?
The time is fixed at the design stage. It depends on the scope, the dosage form and the market you will supply. We use a single turnkey contract to protect that timeline from delays between different suppliers.
Tell us about the plant you want to build.
