LOTTE Biologics has completed construction of Plant 1 at its Songdo Bio Campus in Incheon, South Korea, and obtained approval for use approximately two years after breaking ground in 2024. The 120,000-litre antibody manufacturing facility features eight 15,000-litre stainless-steel bioreactors for large-scale commercial production. It incorporates an automated Manufacturing Control System, advanced bioprocessing technologies, and real-time monitoring systems to enhance efficiency and quality. The facility will work alongside LOTTE Biologics' Syracuse Bio Campus in New York, with Syracuse handling early-stage clinical production and Songdo focusing on large-scale commercial manufacturing. This dual-site strategy enables the company to serve customers across development stages and support regional supply diversification. LOTTE Biologics plans to begin commissioning and validation in the second half of this year.

LOTTE Biologics implements ValGenesis e-Logbook solution to modernize QC operations. SANTA CLARA, Calif., March 17, 2026 - ValGenesis, Inc., the global leader in enterprise digital validation and compliance solutions, today announced that LOTTE Biologics, a rapidly growing contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) headquartered in Seoul, South Korea, has successfully gone live with the ValGenesis e-Logbook solution. The digital logbook management tool transforms operational execution in regulated environments with complete traceability and control. Founded in 2022, LOTTE Biologics entered the pharmaceutical industry with the ambition of becoming a leading global CDMO. The company operates a Bio Campus in Syracuse, New York, and is nearing completion on the construction of a state-of-the-art Bio Campus in Songdo, South Korea, where it is operating a satellite quality control (QC) lab as a precursor to the main facility. As part of its digital transformation journey, LOTTE Biologics has implemented ValGenesis in its satellite QC lab, with plans to extend the platform across its main laboratory and production facilities in the upcoming Songdo Bio Campus. The go-live represents a major milestone in building a fully digital and connected quality ecosystem across the organization. LOTTE Biologics intends to solidify their digital foundation through the implementation and enhancement of enterprise systems, including LIMS, EAM, and EDMS, to support seamless data flow, strengthen consistency, and improve overall operational efficiency. The company is also exploring instrument data automation via the ValGenesis Gateway, which enables direct data capture from laboratory instruments, reducing manual effort, improving accuracy, and providing real-time insights for faster decision-making. The solution replaces paper-based logbooks with real-time digital forms accessible across devices. It supports QR and barcode-based form selection, offline data capture, and no-code configuration to align with standard operating procedures (SOPs). The ValGenesis e-Logbook system ensures regulatory compliance through role-based access, timestamped audit trails, and automated review workflows, and it delivers enterprise-wide visibility when integrated with MES, QMS, LIMS, and CMMS systems. "This project represents more than just a system implementation - it marks a meaningful transformation for LOTTE Biologics," said Hyunjin Cho, IT Team, LOTTE Biologics. "By replacing paper-heavy QC processes with streamlined digital workflows, we have built a more efficient, reliable, and scalable environment that enhances quality management and prepares us for future growth." "We are proud to partner with LOTTE Biologics on this journey toward digital excellence," said Terrance Blackwell, Chief Delivery Officer at ValGenesis, Inc. "The successful go-live underscores our shared commitment to innovation, data integrity, and operational efficiency. With this milestone, LOTTE Biologics takes an important step toward building a fully digital, automated, and compliant R&D-to-manufacturing ecosystem - supporting its vision to become a global leader in biopharmaceutical development and manufacturing."
