The new CMC Process R&D Center represents a strategic investment in scale, sustainability, and specialization.

This investment is part of the company’s planned capital expenditure, reflecting a strong business momentum and expanding engagement with global pharmaceutical and biotech partners. The capex is guided by growing demand for larger clinical-scale programs, a robust late-stage development pipeline, and the need for scalable capacity across CMC development and manufacturing.
