Beuvry-la-Foret
Our Beuvry la Foret site offers process and analytical development, scale-up and manufacturing capabilities for custom synthesis and small molecules APIs.
We have extensive experience of process design as our main R&D center is located here, working together with our industrialization and project management team for successful scale-up and cGMP production from grams to tons of your APIs and key intermediates for multistep synthesis.
Our team can also offer regulatory filling support for the US, EU, Japan and China.
