EMMA International Consulting Group, Inc.: Taking Care of Your Quality, Regulatory and Compliance Needs

Countries all over the world have begun the process of reopening amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. The first few months this year saw complete lock-down in several countries bringing normal life to a halt and putting a huge negative impact on the global economy. Even as steps are being taken to restore normal economic activities with new social norms, those in the Life Sciences industry are aware of the work that still needs to be done.
While developing a vaccine by Pharma companies is just one part of the huge task ahead, readying the other industries as they try to get their workforce back to work also requires effective guidelines. As COVID-19 continues to spread, many industries are finding themselves scrambling to do what they can to assist in protective measures like PPE shortages.
Michigan-based EMMA International Consulting Group (EMMA International) believes that it is their role and responsibility during this time to continue to be a trusted resource to assist companies in navigating these uncharted waters. The company does this by leveraging its deeply rooted expertise and relationships.
In March of this year, EMMA International was selected to serve on the Oakland County, Michigan “Saving Business, Saving Lives” grant review panel as the expert in FDA compliance. This funding helped companies either scale up production or pivot to produce PPEs. To date, this grant has awarded $519,000 with $1 million in funding approved by The Oakland County Board of Commissioners and County Executive, David Coulter.
About the Company
Over the years, EMMA International has emerged as a global leader in FDA consulting services. It focuses on quality, regulatory, and compliance services for the Biotechnology, Pharmaceuticals, and Medical Device industries. It provides specialized services to satisfy all quality and compliance needs, which are backed by extensive knowledge and industry experience.
EMMA International is certified as a Women’s Business Enterprise (WBE) through the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC). It is also ISO 9001:2015 certified for its quality management system. Apart from a wide reach and capability in FDA compliance, the company’s core competency lies in its ability to develop and implement integrated Quality Management Systems (QMS) that conform to a multitude of international regulatory requirements and/or ISO standards. As FDA regulations become more stringent, EMMA International strives to serve companies across the globe by helping them develop an individualized plan to mitigate major challenges in implementing QMS processes.
