The ISPE selected GRAM for its Special Recognition for Operational Agility: COVID 19 Impact award [GRAM](https://www.grandriverasepticmfg.com/) is a leading injectable contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) that selected CRB and its [ONEsolution](https://www.crbgroup.com/onesolution)™ project delivery team to design and construct GRAM’s 60,000+ square-foot facility in downtown Grand Rapids, Michigan.
