Following the investments, Cambrex’s flagship API manufacturing facility in Charles City, Iowa has an installed reactor capacity of over 25,000 gallons.
"When we began this journey, we aligned our investment strategy to the future needs of our pharmaceutical customers. In addition to manufacturing capacity, we invested in specialized technologies to accelerate the development of highly potent APIs and complex synthetic candidates," commented Tom Loewald, Chief Executive Officer at Cambrex. "I'm thrilled to announce that these capabilities and capacity will be available to the market well ahead of schedule, showcasing the efforts of our talented site operations and engineering teams."
In North America, the 5-year investment strategy included capacity expansions in Charles City, Iowa and High Point, North Carolina, adding clinical and commercial manufacturing suites for small-volume, large-volume and highly potent API manufacturing. To support early development programs, Cambrex expanded its capabilities in Longmont, Colorado, co-locating analytical services in the same facility as drug substance and drug product development. Cambrex also added specialized technologies for continuous flow process development and complex synthetics in Waltham, Massachusetts.
In Europe, Cambrex expanded its research and development capabilities in Milan, Italy, with a new high potency lab for API process and analytical development, and commissioned a new stability storage facility in Liege, Belgium.
In 2024, Cambrex will complete the final phases of expansion in both North America and Europe, adding a new, modernized quality control laboratory in Charles City, Iowa and commissioning two new 6m³ scale production lines, representing a 50% increase in large-scale API manufacturing capacity, in Karlskoga, Sweden.
With these investments, Cambrex continues to be well-positioned to support its customers in the development and manufacture of innovative new therapies that improve human health.
