2019 FOYA Winners

ISPE’s Facility of the Year Awards is the premier global awards program recognizing innovation and creativity in manufacturing facilities serving the regulated healthcare industry. The award-winning projects selected by the Facility of the Year Awards program set the standard for pharmaceutical facilities of the future by demonstrating excellence in facility design, construction, and operations.

ISPE is excited to share all the events we have in store to celebrate and learn from our 2019 Facility of the Year Awards Winners. Don’t miss out on all these events!


FOYA Category Winner Presentations

Sunday, 27 October 2019 | 1300 - 1515
Milano Ballroom VII-VIII

We’ll kick off events on Sunday afternoon with presentations from the winners themselves. Each company has selected a representative to share with you the technical features of their project. You’ll get an in-depth look at the latest, state-of-the-art innovations implemented to make their project stand out.

Hear from the winners themselves on what it takes to be recognized as an ISPE Facility of the Year Awards Category Winner. We think you’ll gain inspiration from these award-winning projects that you will take back to your facility to decide if your newly designed, built or renovated facility should be submitted for the 2020 program.
