Cambrex to expand, invest at High Point, North Carolina site

Cambrex Corporation announced that it is to establish a center of excellence for API clinical supply and process development at its site in High Point, North Carolina. Cambrex will acquire its currently leased 35,000 sq. ft. facility, as well as an adjacent 45,000 sq. ft. building which will be fitted out with kilo-scale and pilot-scale vessels, continuous reaction production, and chemistry, engineering and analytical development laboratories. The purchase of the current and adjacent facility is in response to growing customer requirements for clinical supply manufacturing, analytical and chemical development. The center will also focus on the development of new technologies, innovative chemistry and engineering solutions as well as expertise in technology transfer to commercial scale. At its High Point facility, Cambrex produces complex APIs and intermediates requiring multi-step synthetic processes in batch sizes from milligrams to 100 kg in support of clinical trials from Phase I through to Phase III. The site is licensed with the US Drug Enforcement Administration to manufacture Schedule II to Schedule V controlled substances. The acquisition enhanced Cambrex’s portfolio of small molecule API services and complements its large scale, multi-purpose manufacturing facilities in the US and Europe.
