CHALLENGE
Operating advanced pharmaceutical facilities requires rigorous and consistent environmental control. At Meribel Pharma Solutions, ensuring contamination‑free zones is a foundational pillar of their quality strategy. As their footprint expands and customer projects grow in complexity, they continue to strengthen preventive measures that uphold GMP expectations and protect their controlled manufacturing environments. To further enhance Meribel’s proactive contamination‑control framework, they sought solutions that would seamlessly integrate into their operations while reinforcing best‑practice behaviours across all teams.
SOLUTION
Meribel partnered with Dycem to implement CleanZone contamination‑control mats across key transition points, particularly within high‑activity gowning and preparation areas. Dycem mats are produced from our naturally tacky polymeric material that works to continuously capture particulates from footwear and wheels before personnel enter controlled environments (with up to 99.9% effectiveness).
Meribel chose a two‑tone visual design to help provide clear cues that guide correct movement patterns and reinforce good manufacturing behaviour. Integrated smoothly into Meribel’s cleaning routines, these mats support the company’s broader quality‑first philosophy and align with their commitment to safeguarding every stage of the drug development and manufacturing process.
RESULTS
The introduction of Dycem CleanZone mats has strengthened Meribel’s contamination‑control ecosystem and enhanced environmental consistency across their facilities. Dycem’s solutions contribute to maintaining high hygiene standards, support robust GMP compliance, and reinforce the behaviours that protect their sterile and semi‑sterile operations. Routine performance verifications have confirmed the mats’ efficacy, validating their role as an important component of Meribel’s comprehensive, proactive approach to environmental control.
This investment reflects Meribel’s long‑standing commitment to operational excellence, empowering their teams, supporting their partners, and helping ensure safe, high‑quality medicines reach patients worldwide.
