SIKALIAS PHARMACEUTICAL LABORATORIES
A clear route from your brief to the next stage.
Development & Contract Manufacturing — CMO / CDMO. Work with the Laboratories on a defined technical and commercial scope.
Transfer & manufacturing
Sikalias Pharmaceutical LaboratoriesBring your dossier and manufacturing requirements. Assess process transfer, analytical readiness, batch scale and a defined supply programme.
Discuss technology transfer ↗A development base in Greece
Sikalias Pharmaceutical LaboratoriesExplore a European partner for formulation and non-sterile drug-product projects. Technical fit and authorised scope are assessed before a programme is agreed.
Explore a nearshoring project ↗Start with a non-confidential brief: dosage form, development stage, target market, expected volume and timing. Initial contact opens the Laboratories’ project enquiry form. Technical scope, responsibilities and documentation are agreed for each project.
TWO SITES · PERISTERI, GREECE
Development and manufacturing around your product
Sikalias Pharmaceutical Laboratories combines two development and manufacturing sites in Peristeri, including the newly GMP-certified Site 1. The applicable manufacturing scope and technology-transfer requirements are reviewed for each project.
R&D, pilot work & selected GMP production
Define formulation options, process needs and the route to an appropriate production scale.
7 Kyklaminon Str., Ag. Ierotheos, Peristeri 12137, Greece
Scale-up & manufacturing
Assess process transfer, batch scale, quality documentation and the authorised scope for the proposed project.
3–5 Stylianou Gonata Str., Industrial Park, Peristeri 12133, Greece
Humidity & oxidation controls
A low-humidity room at Site 1 (<10% RH) supports moisture-sensitive work. Nitrogen-assisted liquid handling is available for assessment where reduced oxygen exposure is relevant. Suitability and operating conditions are determined for each process.
Product stability is established through formulation, packaging and stability studies. Site allocation and backup arrangements are planned with the required technology transfer, validation, approvals and available capacity.
PROJECT FEASIBILITY
Development questions worth exploring together
Start with the technical question, the intended market and the evidence required. A feasibility review defines the work and the responsibilities.
Reformulation & alternative dosage forms
Explore formulation strategies for existing actives and established dossiers. A new indication or route of administration requires its own scientific and regulatory assessment.
Solubility & bioavailability assessment
Compare formulation approaches for poorly soluble compounds and define analytical, performance and stability studies. Bioavailability objectives need an appropriate evidence programme.
Small-volume & paediatric programmes
Discuss formulation needs for orphan and paediatric development programmes, including palatability, stability and flexible batch planning, subject to project qualification and regulatory requirements.
Pilot opportunities in digital quality
Explore AI-assisted quality workflows and electronic batch-record pilots with QA oversight, data-integrity requirements, validation criteria and human review. Scope and outcomes are defined for each prospective pilot.
SIKALIAS PHARMACY · ESTABLISHED 1967

Who handles an industrial project?
Sikalias Pharmaceutical Laboratories handles R&D, technology transfer and manufacturing discussions. The pharmacy provides patient-specific compounding and care. These are distinct professional routes within the ecosystem.
What should my first project enquiry include?
A non-confidential description of the product category, dosage form, development stage, target market, volume and timeline. Detailed confidential formulas and dossiers can follow through an agreed channel.
Can I request a galenical preparation?
Contact Sikalias Pharmacy to discuss the request. A pharmacist assesses suitability and feasibility, and any required prescription or prescriber clarification. Availability and timing are confirmed individually.
Where can patients and caregivers find guidance?
PatientCare offers educational resources on medicines, diabetes and self-monitoring. Individual guidance is provided through the relevant healthcare professional; these resources do not replace diagnosis or prescribing.
How does the two-site model support a project?
Site 0 connects R&D, pilot work and selected GMP production; Site 1 supports scale-up and manufacturing, including its new GMP certification. Site allocation and any backup production require the applicable authorised scope, technology transfer, validation and capacity assessment.
How are humidity, oxidation and stability addressed?
A low-humidity room at Site 1 (<10% RH) and nitrogen-assisted liquid handling provide process options. Their suitability is assessed for each project. Stability is established through product-specific formulation, packaging and stability studies.
Where can I explore Sikalias brands?
The brands hub at sikalias.eu provides the manufacturer’s product information and collaboration routes for Sikalias® and Kallio®. Product availability and market requirements are assessed through the relevant commercial route.
