Construction of a CENTER FOR ADVANCED STERILE TECHNOLOGY
(CAST) in Portage was approved in the final years of the Upjohn
Company. It was located in the North-West corner of Building 41.
It included
innovative and cutting-edge technology. It was
approved by FDA in 2000 but alas, we couldn't make all that
cutting-edge technology work. No product made in CAST was ever
sold. Fortunately
the facility was rebuild as Aseptic Processing North
(APN), which is heavily used today. Here's the handout for the
opening celebration of CAST in 2001 followed by a couple of
photos displayed in a card.
