Reig Jofre, a CataloniaBio & HealthTech member, is one of the three pharmaceutical firms that have been selected by Spanish Ministry of Health to product the future Covid-19 vaccine. 

Reig Jofre has a factory in Sant Joan Despí (Barcelona) that specialises in sterile injectable products and has the capacity to manufacture over 700 million doses per year. Works started on the installations in 2019, and it has brought in investment of €30M, as reported in Cinco Días. The Catalan company has experience in manufacturing animal vaccines.

To tackle the pandemic, according to the International Federation of Pharmaceutical Manufacturers and Associations (IFPMA), there would be a need for between 12 billion and 15 billion doses.
