The facility is largest of its kind in Asia spread over 35,000 sq feet with an investment of over Rs 30 crore.

With worldclass infrastructure for manufacturing, testing and certification of medical devices available in the park, the facility would play a key role in import substitution of medical devices," said Suresh Vazirani, Founder and Chairman, Transasia-Erba International Group of Companies.
