We are purely a contract manufacturer and do not develop brands of our own

We are your partner, not your competitor.

One Stop Shop:
From active pharmaceutical ingredient synthesis
to the finished product

We offer complete development
– including scale-up and one-to-one transfer of the manufacturing process –
all the way through to commercial manufacturing.

Given our size, that’s quite surprising.
But we are positioned accordingly:
Our employees are extremely well trained, our analytic
departments are perfectly equipped  and our
multi-purpose facilities can be flexible used.

Apart from our services, we also offer
a portfolio of about 30 active pharmaceutical ingredients
for the generic market.
