Our development and manufacturing site network is routinely inspected by global regulatory authorities including US FDA, EMA, MHRA & Swissmedic. Our cross-intercontinental sites in Visp (CH) and Nansha (CN) are approved for production of API and HPAPI for multiple markets.

Work with one partner with broad capabilities and integrated approach

Our broad capabilities and integrated approach enables you to use one partner throughout your project, from development through to manufacturing. This reduces risk, complexity and time to bring your HPAPI product to market. Our dedicated program management and experienced teams work together with you to ensure swift and efficient technology transfer and scale-up as required.
