Master Agreement comprises MES delivery for pharmaceutical and biotech manufacturing

Lueneburg, Germany, May 8, 2008 - Werum Software & Systems and Merck Serono just signed an agreement for the delivery of Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES). According to the Global MES Master Agreement, Merck Serono is planning to implement standardized MES solutions for both its pharmaceutical and biotechnological lines of production using Werum's MES products PAS-X PHARMA and PAS-X BIOTECH as a basis.

To start off, Merck Serono placed an order for two parallel MES projects. Werum will deploy PAS-X PHARMA at the Darmstadt (Germany) pharmaceutical site; simultaneously, Merck Serono will equip a new biotech plant in Vevey (Switzerland) with PAS-X BIOTECH. Once these two projects have been completed successfully, PAS-X will gradually be rolled out to other sites worldwide, starting with Semoy (France) and Mexico.

Consistent project procedures - especially for qualification and validation of the system - along with uniform production business processes at the sites are expected to bring Merck Serono three major benefits: They will reduce production risks, considerably shorten the time needed for documentation and result in a much faster release of manufacturing reports.

About Merck Serono
Merck Serono, the new division for innovative small molecules and biopharmaceuticals of Merck, was established following the acquisition of Serono and the integration of its business with the former Merck Ethicals Division. Headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, Merck Serono discovers, develops, produces and commercializes innovative products to help patients with diseases with unmet needs.
