  While the first unit of the S2C2, IBA's synchrocyclotron dedicated to proton therapy, was being tested and validated for clinical operation, the "Research and Development" and "Manufacturing and Supply Chain" departments teamed up to industrialize the design, start the series production of the first batch and planned for a production ramp up. In this communication, we will describe how the team was gathered, how IBA interfaced with suppliers who also had to ramp up the production of critical components, what deliverables were required for the industrialization and how the engineers were trained for the testing and installation. We will also present how IBA will increase its manufacturing capability to cope with the already high demand from the market for this new accelerator.
