PHILADELPHIA-(BUSINESS WIRE)- PCI Pharma Services (PCI), een toonaangevende wereldwijde contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO), kondigde vandaag de afronding aan van de eerder aangekondigde overname van Lyophilization Services of New England, Inc. (LSNE), een vooraanstaande organisatie voor contractontwikkeling en productie met hoofdkantoor in Bedford, New Hampshire.

Deze overname is een belangrijke stap voor PCI, aangezien LSNE de diensten van PCI als een wereldwijde CDMO zal uitbreiden, voortbouwend op zijn expertise op het gebied van gespecialiseerde productie, levering van klinische proeven en farmaceutische verpakkingen. PCI kan nu geïntegreerde oplossingen voor grote en kleine moleculen aanbieden voor zijn klinische en commerciële klanten, waaronder wereldwijde productiemogelijkheden in complexe formuleringen, hoge potentie, steriele vulafwerking en lyofilisatie, een belangrijk productieproces dat vaak wordt gebruikt bij injecteerbare en biologische therapieën.

PCI Pharma Services Announces the Closing of Its Acquisition of LSNE

PHILADELPHIA–(BUSINESS WIRE)– PCI Pharma Services (PCI), a leading global contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO), today announced the closing of the previously announced acquisition of Lyophilization Services of New England, Inc. (LSNE), a premier contract development and manufacturing organization headquartered in Bedford, New Hampshire.

This acquisition is a key step for PCI, as LSNE will expand PCI’s breadth of services as a global CDMO, building on its expertise in specialty manufacturing, clinical trial supply and pharmaceutical packaging. PCI is now able to offer integrated large and small molecule solutions for its clinical and commercial clients, including global manufacturing capabilities in complex formulations, high potency, sterile fill-finish, and lyophilization, an important manufacturing process commonly used with injectable and biologic therapies.

Founded in 1997, LSNE has an impressive history of serving global pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device companies. LSNE is differentiated by its high-quality cGMP aseptic fill-finish capabilities, and expertise in and ability to scale lyophilization. LSNE brings to PCI five FDA-approved facilities in the U.S. (New Hampshire, Wisconsin) and Europe (Spain), with a sixth expecting approval early in the new year. The closing of this acquisition, along with the capital commitments for significant capacity expansion and PCI’s recently announced construction of a New England Clinical Center of Excellence, will also help create a centralized hub for its Northeast clients.

The injectable CDMO market is a high-growth segment outpacing the overall pharmaceutical outsourcing market and PCI is making significant investments, like this acquisition, to respond to the evolving industry landscape. This is PCI’s fourth acquisition in three years, reinforcing the company’s commitment to add new capabilities and scale to help its clients continue bringing life-changing therapies to patients all over the world.
