History:

Coating Place was founded in 1976 by Harlan Hall after purchasing the formulation development intellectual property and laboratory equipment of the Wurster Coating Labs from WARF (Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation). The Wurster coating lab equipment was relocated to Verona, Wisconsin and Coating Place, Incorporated started business by offering formulation development and contract manufacturing of Wurster Fluid Bed Coated products. From those humble beginnings Coating Place has grown to the pharmaceutical industry’s preeminent fluid bed formulation development service and industry leading pharmaceutical GMP contract manufacturing organization. Coating Place has a modern 175,000 square foot pharmaceutical GMP facility that contains four R&D equipment suites and 12 commercial manufacturing production lines with three different sizes of coating units that are linear scalable between 90 liter, 300 liter and 600 liter batch sizes. Facilities also include a state-of-the-art Quality Control Laboratory capable of performing analytical methods development and full compendial testing in support of R&D and contract manufacturing operations.

The company is capable of performing development and manufacturing of controlled release, sustained release, delayed release, enteric release and taste masked products for nutritional, OTC (Over The Counter), Rx prescription and schedule II – V controlled substance product applications. Recent additions to the company have expanded the scope of our process capabilities to include powder densification, sizing and capsule filling capabilities. Our employees continue to exhibit the same innovative spirit and mid-west work ethic of Dr. Dale Wurster today within Coating Place, Inc.
