Hempire Labs has expanded its consulting services for EU GMP-compliant medical cannabis extraction lab design, helping producers with facility planning, cleanroom engineering, and regulatory compliance. The Spain-based consultancy now supports clients through each phase of the build process, from initial design to commissioning, to produce inspection-ready facilities.

The expansion responds to accelerating demand for compliant extraction infrastructure across regulated markets. According to Data Bridge Market Research, the global medical cannabis extraction market was valued at USD 5.14 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 17.11 billion by 2033. As this growth draws new operators into pharmaceutical-grade production, regulators have intensified scrutiny of facility design — and producers who enter the build process without compliance expertise can face redesigns that delay market entry significantly, according to the company.
Hempire Labs addresses this gap by integrating regulatory requirements into facility design from the outset. The firm's consultants cover cleanroom classification, HVAC and pressure differential engineering, solvent handling zones, equipment layout, and process flow — each element aligned to EU GMP, GACP, and GDP standards. Hempire Labs notes that extraction facilities designed for compliance from day one avoid the structural and mechanical changes that make post-construction remediation both costly and time-consuming.
"Extraction facilities that are not designed with compliance in mind almost always require expensive corrections before passing inspection," a Hempire Labs spokesperson said. "Addressing process flow, contamination controls, and documentation pathways at the design stage is far less expensive than correcting them after construction."
Hempire Labs' project management support extends to quality management system integration and coordination between engineering, regulatory, and operational teams, covering the full path to operational readiness.
