Top CDMO Firms of 2020

Kashmore, Sindh, Pakistan, June 26 2020 (Wiredrelease) Boost SEO Metrics — London,UK (Wiredrelease) Procom Communication INC: As the globe continues to reel from the effects of the coronavirus pandemic, the question of when a vaccine will be available is at the top of everybody’s mind. While biotech and biopharmaceutical firms all around the world have been pursuing a vaccine, an unsung hero that supports these efforts are the huge contract development and manufacturing organizations (CDMO) that bear a huge brunt of the workload. 

A CDMO is a company that aids pharmaceutical firms on a contractual basis, which means they handle services ranging from initial drug development through to large-scale manufacturing of treatments. In 2020, the pharmaceutical industry is leaning heavily on CDMOs to help facilitate and expedite the process of creating, testing, and developing critical treatment solutions such as a potential COVID-19 vaccine. Here are the top ten CDMO firms of 2020:

 1. Cambrex

Cambrex is one of the largest CDMO firms in the world, which forged its name in developing, testing, and building small-molecule active pharmaceutical ingredients. Over time, the firm built a name as a premier CDMO firm after a series of major acquisitions that solidified the firm’s expertise. In an interesting turn of events, Cambrex was purchased by Permira Funds, a private equity firm for $2 billion in late 2019, to help optimize the company. 

 2.  Recipharm

Recipharm is a long-standing firm in the pharmaceutical space, having recently celebrated 25 years of business. Among one of the five largest CDMO firms in the world, the company has a global presence in all corners of the world and employs over 9,000 people. Recently, Recipharm has noted a dramatic growth in interest for the company’s chloroquine antiviral drug, which has been used to aid patients with coronavirus COVID-19. 

 3. Thermo Fisher Pantheon

Samsung Biologics is one of the largest CDMO firms in the world. In October 2018, Samsung Biologics opened up its third manufacturing plant which brings the firms’ annual production capacity to 360,000 liters a year. By 2020, Samsung Biologics estimates that it will produce 350 products across its three large-scale facilities.

 6. WuXi Biologics

A relatively recent firm, WuXi Biologics was founded in 2015 and went public on the Hong Kong stock exchange in 2017.
