In 2019, Cambrex was acquired by funds advised by Permira, a global investment firm, to continue to build upon Cambrex’s market leading position in API development and manufacturing and support the growth of its end-to-end integrated service offerings across the pharmaceutical value chain.

Established in 2011, the CMO Leadership Awards recognize top outsourcing partners, determined by feedback from sponsor companies who outsource manufacturing. The awards are presented by Outsourced Pharma, Life Science Leader magazine and Industry Standard Research.

In late 2020, Cambrex completed expansion of its solid form screening and crystallization process development facility at their Scottish HQ on Edinburgh Technopole. This major expansion project has seen the facility’s total footprint double to 15,000 square feet, with existing laboratory space having been refurbished, with an additional 3,500 square feet of laboratory space made available.
