Cambrex, a contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) that offers drug substance, drug product, and analytical services across the entire drug lifecycle,has completed of its $38 million capacity expansion at its small molecule active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) manufacturing facility in High Point, NC. This expansion doubles the facility's manufacturing capacity, with new state-of-the-art analytical and chemical development laboratories, two new clinical manufacturing suites, and a small-scale commercial manufacturing operation with three work centers and 2,000-liter reactors.
The High Point capabilities complement those of previously acquired Snapdragon Chemistry, which specializes in R&D for API batch, and continuous flow process development.
