ABEC Receives 2nd ASME Certificate of Authorization

ABEC’s manufacturing facility in Kells, Co. Meath, Ireland has received ASME Certificate of Authorization to manufacture and service pressure vessels. ABEC Kells is the first biopharmaceutical equipment manufacturer in Ireland to receive this certificate of authorization.

A Certificate of Authorization from ASME confirms ABEC complies with the stringent ASME VIII design codes and fabrication process, and is authorized to apply the ASME “U” stamp to new equipment, and “R” stamp to service repair work to ASME certified vessels. ABEC Kells is the second of ABEC’s facilities to obtain ASME authorization, as their Springfield, MO, USA facility has held ASME Certification since 2003. 

“The biopharmaceutical manufacturing industry is global and dynamic. A reliable supply of high quality vessels and certified services is critical for our customers,” said Scott Pickering, ABEC president and chief executive officer. “ABEC is leading the industry in code compliance at our manufacturing facilities, bringing customers maximum flexibility and responsiveness to address their global vessel needs.”
