Whether a client is looking for us to deliver a full development and manufacturing program or perform a specific service on a standalone basis, our team crafts and executes a project plan specific to their needs.

“To support our clients’ needs, we are continuously investing in facility upgrades and expansion. Over the last three years, we have expanded our analytical labs in all locations, upgraded and expanded our API manufacturing capacity, expanded our microbiology lab, built a new drug product manufacturing facility, increased our presence in the Boston metro area to support our cleanroom service clients, and acquired an industry-leading provider of solid state chemistry services, Solid Form Solutions.

“We find the best fit for each project across our integrated network of facilities, including the ability to take a molecule from early stage process development to the clinic within a single facility.”

Our recent addition of a Boston metro location is a good example of the type of change we are eager to make, positioning our cleanroom service team in close proximity to clients in order to provide the most convenient, efficient support possible.
