Where the work has reached
The photographs on this page were taken at the site in 2026. The production halls and the utilities block are up and clad, the aprons and loading bays are poured, and the surrounding earthworks are still open. What remains is the part that decides whether the facility can be licensed: the cleanroom fit-out, the equipment, the validation and the documentation.
The Boten Economic Zone's own channel has filmed the site and named Luang Pharma among the enterprises established there. In July 2026 the Boten Special Economic Zone publicly announced the project's signing into the Haichuan Industrial Park, projecting an annual output value of up to USD 30 million at full production.
Scope
Luang Pharma is establishing a pharmaceutical manufacturing facility in the Boten Economic Zone, Lao PDR. The company is not yet manufacturing, holds no manufacturing licence, and none of its portfolio lines are registered or available for supply.
The leased footprint is being prepared. The twelve-month programme covers workshop design and construction, equipment procurement and installation, connection of water, electricity and gas, HVAC and purification validation, the GMP documentation baseline, personnel training, trial production and product testing, and the manufacturing licence application.
Formulation and filling
The first module is planned for lyophilised vial products, dual-chamber cartridges, single-chamber lyophilised cartridges, 10 mL oil-based vial injections and 1 mL ampoules. Designed annual capacity for finished units is approximately 15 million.
Protein purification
The second module covers protein raw material production and purification, with a designed annual output of 80 to 100 kilograms of lyophilised protein powder.
Equipment
Twenty-nine per cent of the USD 5.0 million investment is allocated to production equipment: lyophilisers, filling machines, purification systems and analytical instruments. A further 15% covers cleanroom construction and the utility retrofit, and 12% the first-year rent and deposit on the leased area.
