Introducing

Werfen

Skyline partnered with global diagnostics company, Werfen (formerly Accriva), to convert a standard warehouse into a high-performance environment for advanced manufacturing, R&D, and cold storage. The 133,000 sq. ft. renovation included 45,000 sq. ft. of precision-controlled dry rooms designed for assembling and packaging medical diagnostic kits. This was more than a facility upgrade, it was a transformation built for precision, performance, and product integrity.

Project Details

TAILORED FOR DIAGNOSTIC PRODUCTION

The project was delivered in two coordinated phases. Phase one focused on labs, R&D spaces, and sleek executive offices. Phase two shifted to the manufacturing floor, where Skyline constructed a series of dry rooms tailored to diagnostic kit production. The largest room supported blister pack packaging, where even small amounts of moisture could compromise product quality. With powders and sensitive components involved, the client required static grounding, strict humidity control, and clean, dust-free environments built to their internal performance standards.

Project Details

ENGINEERED FOR CONTROL

To meet those demands, Skyline constructed a multi-layer wall system using visqueen plastic sandwiched between vertical and horizontal layers of drywall, then sealed everything with epoxy paint. Epoxy flooring and sealed light fixtures created a fully enclosed, static-safe workspace. Climate control was handled by a two-part system: custom air handlers brought in filtered air, while a Munters unit with a desiccant wheel actively removed moisture to keep conditions stable and dry.Beyond manufacturing, the project included a 3,000 sq. ft. standalone cold box to store finished products. The warehouse was upgraded to support high-pile storage up to 22 feet and outfitted with a new ESFR fire protection system. The result is a fully integrated facility that supports every part of Werfen’s product lifecycle, from development to production to storage.
