Carbogen Amcis signs co-funding pact worth over CHF 15 million to expand Swiss site  

Carbogen Amcis will produce exclusively for the signatory customer a complex highly potent drug component for a commercial antibody-drug-conjugate API

Dishman Carbogen Amcis announced that its subsidiary, Carbogen Amcis AG, a pharma process development and active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) and drug products manufacturing company, has entered into a co-investment agreement of more than CHF 15 million with a longstanding, Japan-based customer to build a site extension at the Bubendorf site in Switzerland.

The expansion will be created adjacent to an existing manufacturing facility on the Bubendorf Switzerland site. This expansion will incorporate a new production line comprising of two 850 L reactors and one agitated filter drier. The facility is designed for highly potent manufacturing up to category 4 (OEL of 1 µg/m³ and lower).

“We are grateful for the trust our customer has placed in us by deciding to support the Bubendorf site extension. Their investment will enable the creation of a state-of-the-art facility that will benefit them directly,” said Pascal Villemagne, VP Sales and Marketing, Carbogen Amcis.

Carbogen Amcis will produce exclusively for the signatory customer a complex highly potent drug component for a commercial antibody-drug-conjugate API.

“The production of this intermediate involves five Dishman Carbogen Amcis facilities around the world: three sites in Switzerland (Bubendof, Hunzenschwil and Aarau), one in the UK (Manchester) and one in China (Shanghai). The highly potent production element will take place in Bubendorf, in the new building extension,” commented Mark Griffiths, Director, Dishman Carbogen Amcis.

Currently, the planning phase for the building extension is underway and the company expects to commence operations in autumn 2022.
