PRODUCTION EXCELLENCE

World-Class Manufacturing at Zaria

A fully integrated, NAFDAC-certified production facility where precision engineering meets pharmaceutical-grade quality — from raw polymer to sterile, packaged product.

THE FAHRENHEIT FACILITY

End-to-End Production Under One Roof

Our Zaria facility in Kaduna State houses a complete, vertically integrated manufacturing line for 3-part syringes and needles. Every stage — from injection moulding of syringe barrels, plungers, and rubber gaskets to final blister packaging and EtO sterilization — is performed in-house under strict ISO and WHO GMP conditions. The complex is designed as a full pharmaceutical manufacturing campus capable of producing up to 33 different medical device and consumable products, with current production focused on our 2ml, 5ml, and 10ml syringe range.

OUR SYRINGE DESIGN

The 3-Part Syringe: Engineered for Precision

Every syringe leaving our Zaria facility is a 3-part device — the gold standard for clinical, veterinary, and laboratory use worldwide.

PART 01

Transparent Barrel

Clear polypropylene barrel with precisely calibrated graduation markings for accurate liquid measurement. The transparent design allows instant visual confirmation of volume and air bubbles.

PART 02

Plastic Plunger Rod

Rigid polyethylene plunger rod engineered for smooth, controlled depression. The plunger thumb-rest is ergonomically designed for single-hand operation in clinical settings.

PART 03

Rubber Gasket (Piston)

Medical-grade rubber gasket creates a smooth, airtight seal between the plunger and barrel wall — ensuring precise fluid delivery with no leakage and consistent back-pressure feel.

Available Tip Configurations

Luer Slip Tip
Push-on connection — needle or dispensing tip slides directly onto the barrel tip. Fast attachment for high-throughput clinical environments.
Luer Lock Tip
Twist-on threaded connection — needle locks securely to prevent accidental disconnection during injection. Preferred for IV drug administration and high-pressure applications.

Clinical, Veterinary & Laboratory Applications

Our 2ml, 5ml, and 10ml 3-part syringes are used across a wide range of settings for precise liquid measurement, fluid aspiration, and medication administration.

Clinical / Hospital
IM and IV injections, vaccinations, blood draws, wound irrigation, surgical procedures
Veterinary
Animal medication administration, fluid therapy, sample collection
Laboratory
Reagent dispensing, sample transfer, precise liquid measurement

All syringes are packaged sterile, single-use, and latex-free — individually blister-packed with Tyvek/PVC lidding to maintain sterility until point of use.

THE PRODUCTION FLOW

From Raw Material to Sterile Product

Our manufacturing process follows a strictly sequenced, validated workflow. Each stage feeds directly into the next, with in-process quality checks at every transition point.

QUALITY SYSTEMS

Quality Built Into Every Step

Quality at Fahrenheit is not an end-of-line inspection — it is embedded at every stage of the manufacturing process.

In-Process Controls

Automated vision systems, dimensional gauges, and functional testers are integrated at every production stage.

Validated Processes

Every critical process — moulding, assembly, sterilization, packaging — is fully validated with documented IQ, OQ, and PQ protocols.

Environmental Monitoring

Continuous particle counting, temperature, humidity, and differential pressure monitoring in all clean-room zones.

Full Traceability

Serialised batch records link every finished unit back to its raw material lot, moulding run, assembly shift, sterilization cycle, and QC release.
