EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J., Dec. 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Cambrex Corporation (NYSE: CBM, "Cambrex") announced that the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) completed an inspection of Cambrex's active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) manufacturing facility in Charles City, Iowa. The inspection found the site to be compliant with the principles and guidelines of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) and no Form 483 observations were issued. The US FDA authorities inspected the facility from July 31 to August 2, 2013.
Joe Nettleton, Vice President Operations and Charles City Site Director commented, "We are very pleased with the results of this latest FDA inspection, which further strengthens our track record of outstanding regulatory compliance.
