The life science group Sartorius celebrates the completion of a multi-year capacity expansion project at the headquarters of its French sub-group Sartorius Stedim Biotech in Aubagne. The investments highlight Sartorius’ commitment to providing customers with innovative fluid management technologies.

“By investing in innovation, automation, and sustainability, we are strengthening our ability to meet the evolving needs of our customers while ensuring our competitive positioning and preparing for future growth,” said René Fáber, Member of the Sartorius Executive Board and CEO of Sartorius Stedim Biotech.

Sartorius almost doubled cleanroom space in Aubagne, enhancing production lines for 2D and 3D single-use bags. Certified with ISCC Plus¹ , the site uses renewable raw materials for plastic components. In addition, the company adopted ISO 14001 to enhance the environmental performance of its operations. An automated logistics facility accelerates raw material handling, and a cross-functional lab space fosters collaboration with customers. The campus received several sustainability and biodiversity certifications.

The Aubagne campus is part of Sartorius’ global expansion of research and production capacities. These investments aim to prepare the company's infrastructure for further organic growth and to strengthen the flexibility and diversification of the production network - supporting consistent delivery reliability and product quality across all regions.
