CDMO Custom Pharma Services expands operations

The full-service contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) for investigational medicinal products has purchased a new building to expand its high containment manufacturing and development operations.

The new facility, dubbed the Custom Pharmaceutical Innovation Centre, is adjacent to Custom Pharma Services's existing packaging and warehousing operations on the Fairway Trading Estate in Brighton

According to the company, the expansion increases its capacity for clinical and product development of highly potent molecules. The new facility also supports the company’s commercial manufacturing capabilities with high containment capabilities in order to meet customer demand.

Nigel Richardson, CEO of Custom Pharma Services, explained work on the building will begin later this year. In the company’s press release, Richardson described the expansion as “a tremendous opportunity to consolidate our operations and concentrate on broadening our scope of services.”
