Development and formulation of your products

From lab and pilot scale to production scale, our team of experts develops formulations and manufacturing processes for solid dosage forms. In addition, our GMP-compliant and FDA-approved pilot plant environment is perfect for a seamless manufacturing of phase 1 to phase 3 clinical samples. 

Highest competence for solid dosage forms

We have all standard equipment for the production of solid dosage forms, such as machines for dry and free-flow granulation and direct tabletting. In addition, we have special expertise in formulation to improve the bioavailability of poorly soluble active pharmaceutical ingredients. For this purpose, we use technologies such as melt extrusion or melt granulation. We also pay special attention to the development and production of mini tablets and pellets.

Hand in hand with this is the development of the corresponding analytical methods in our "Analytical Technology" competence centre.

Our development competence is based on our knowledge of commercial production processes and requirements. We develop and deliver formulations and analytical methods that are fit for purpose and can be easily and robustly used in commercial manufacturing.

More than 40 highly qualified formulation scientists and analytical experts contribute their many years of development experience to each product, thereby actively contributing to project success. Through our Total Process Ownership (TPO©) service concept, the customer can rely on fully comprehensive support along the entire process chain.
