Cleanroom flooring replacement at Morpeth site. Piramal's Morpeth site is a fully integrated production facility offering Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs), oral solid drug product development, clinical supply, commercial manufacturing and packaging services for both innovator and generic pharmaceutical companies. The £250,000 flooring project marks a significant upgrade to the previous surface, which had been in place for 56 years. Kemtile, a division of international flooring manufacturer Stonhard, installed the new Stonhard GS flooring system, designed to deliver durability, chemical resistance and seamless hygiene suitable for pharmaceutical cleanroom environments. To enhance performance, Kemtile applied two coats of Stonkote HT4 with a textured finish to maximise slip resistance, and installed Polysto hygienic coving throughout alongside a new channel drain.

Piramal Pharma reported early signs of CDMO business recovery with improved RFPs and order inflows during its Q3 2026 earnings call. The company maintained a strong regulatory track record, clearing 30 inspections including 2 US FDA inspections without OAIs. However, the company faced a 3-4% year-over-year revenue decline due to inventory destocking and slower early-stage order inflows. EBITDA margins remained at 11% for the quarter. The consumer healthcare business grew 20% in Q3 and 16% over nine months. Piramal acquired Kenalog from Bristol-Myers Squibb, expecting annualised revenues of $30-40 million. The product aligns with the company's hospital channel strengths and has limited competition due to complex manufacturing requirements. Management expects momentum from improved US biopharma funding to support healthy growth in FY27.
