Multimodal manufacturing—avoid challenges in the ATMP marketplace

Multimodal manufacturing facilities are designed to balance the efficiencies of a standardized and modular cleanroom template with just enough configurability to suit unique operator needs. As a result, they’re becoming known as a modern, cost-effective, highly flexible solution to the present-day challenges and future needs of ATMP manufacturing.

Multimodal manufacturing — what’s your perfect fit?

Here’s the thing we figured out about offering a single solution, though: when you try to fit everyone, you wind up fitting no one. That’s how we got where we are today, with three distinct SlateXpace models. Clients can deploy just one, or mix and match them to create a near-infinite array of combinations, suitable for different needs or phases of growth.
