Kirby Completes 13,000 Sq M Pharmaceutical Facility for Softgel Healthcare in Ranipet

Tamil Nadu continues to strengthen its position as one of India’s leading manufacturing hubs, and the latest development in Ranipet highlights the growing role of modern steel construction in industrial infrastructure. Kirby Building Systems has completed a 13,000 square metre pharmaceutical manufacturing facility for Softgel Healthcare Pvt Ltd in Ranipet, marking another milestone for advanced industrial construction in the state.

The facility has been developed using pre engineered steel building technology, a construction method increasingly preferred for large industrial and manufacturing projects. The approach allows faster project execution, improved structural efficiency and flexible design layouts that suit modern production environments.

Softgel Healthcare is a well known pharmaceutical manufacturer that produces a wide range of nutraceutical and healthcare products for global markets. The new facility in Ranipet is expected to support the company’s expanding production capacity while strengthening Tamil Nadu’s pharmaceutical manufacturing ecosystem.

Kirby Building Systems, a global leader in pre engineered steel buildings, has delivered numerous industrial, logistics and manufacturing facilities across India. The company is part of Alghanim Industries and operates multiple engineering and manufacturing centres that support projects across diverse sectors.

Industry experts say pre engineered building systems are increasingly becoming the preferred choice for factories, warehouses and industrial parks. These structures are designed and fabricated in controlled factory environments before being assembled on site, significantly reducing construction timelines and improving quality consistency.

Ranipet has emerged as an important industrial cluster in Tamil Nadu due to its proximity to Chennai, strong highway connectivity and presence of established manufacturing industries. The region hosts several engineering, leather, automotive and pharmaceutical companies that continue to attract investment.

The completion of the Softgel Healthcare facility reflects the growing demand for modern industrial infrastructure as companies expand production capabilities and optimise supply chains.

As manufacturing investments accelerate across Tamil Nadu, projects like this highlight how advanced steel construction technologies are helping industries build faster, smarter and more efficient production facilities.
