Our
Our technical teams specialise in scalable, cost-driven manufacture of drug delivery devices, specifically for potent API applications. We employ moulding, solvent casting, extrusion, and co-extrusion processes, that are developed in our R&D labs, proven in our pilot GMP suites, and scaled in our GMP manufacturing facility.
