NanoViricides, Inc. Retains AES Clean Technology, Inc. for Design, Engineering and Construction of the Cleanroom Suite in its Previously Announced cGMP Production and Laboratory Facility

West Haven, CT | Posted on January 14th, 2013

AES is the leader in turnkey design, manufacturing, and construction, of modular cleanroom systems (www.aesclean.com). Modular cleanroom technology delivers more speed, cleanliness, quality, and repeatable performance to the cleanroom project. AES is the leading vendor in cGMP-compliant manufacturing facilities for Pharmaceutical and BioPharma Manufacturing industries. Their pharma client list comprises several industry leaders and can be found at Leading Industry Leaders in Pharma, Biotech, Medical Device, Semicon, Micro | AES (www.aesclean.com/aes-portfolio/industry-leaders).

"AES has the industry expertise in designing and building modular, validated, cGMP manufacturing suites for pharmaceutical industries," said Anil R. Diwan, PhD, President, NanoViricides, Inc., adding, "We are very pleased to have such experts working with us to enable this project in a cost effective fashion without compromising on quality or performance."

As previously announced, this facility will be built by renovating an existing 18,000 sq. ft. light manufacturing plant on a 4.2 acre lot in Shelton, CT. AES will be responsible for the critical cGMP manufacturing suites space. In addition, NanoViricides, Inc. has retained ID3A architects as the Principal Architect for the project and integration of the separately constructed Clean Room Suite for cGMP production. Ms. Kathyann Cowles, AIA, of ID3A joins Mr. Phil Mader of MPH Engineering, LLC (MPH) , and Mr. Andrew Hahn, to complete our architecture, design and construction management team. As previously announced, Mr. Hahn continues to provide overall stewardship of the project, while Mr. Mader is responsible for detailed project management, and his firm, MPH, is providing engineering services.

The Company has previously reported about the Shelton light industrial building that will house the cGMP pilot production plant, research laboratories, and offices. The cGMP pilot plant is being designed for the production of sufficient quantities of the drug needed for human clinical trials for each of the various nanoviricides® drug candidates as they advance into the clinical pipeline.

The light industrial building at 1 Controls Drive, Shelton CT was purchased by Inno-Haven, LLC. Inno-Haven is a private company that was founded by Dr. Anil R. Diwan, the Company's CEO, and financed by himself and certain of his friends and associates, with the specific purpose of enabling clinical cGMP manufacturing capabilities for NanoViricides, Inc. drug substances. Acquisition of this 18,000 sqft building on 4.2 acres of land was previously announced by NanoViricides, Inc. in September, 2011. Renovation of the building is to be performed as per the requirements of NanoViricides, Inc. for the production of the nanoviricides drug candidates for clinical trials under cGMP processes. The drug substance produced in this facility will then be delivered to a third party for final processing and labeling, as required, for human clinical trials when ready. NanoViricides, Inc. expects to lease this facility. No lease has been signed yet and no terms of lease have been finalized as of now.
