Our services for contract manufacturing of injectable products

As part of our pharmaceutical contract manufacturing activities for health products (CMO), we act on behalf of several small, medium and large companies in our sector as a partner in the development and manufacturing of their injectable drugs and sterile medical devices. As a contract manufacturer, we support you both in pilot-scale development and the upscaling stages of your proprietary drugs as well as later in the industrial production phase. Over the years, our company has established itself as a leading CDMO in the French and European markets, with recognized expertise in the manufacture of injectable products.

GMP Approved

A manufacturing site for injectables compliant with GMP standards

Our production site, located in the Centre Val de Loire region of France, meets the latest standards in force in our industry, in particular, EU GMP and ISO 13485. Our site is regularly audited by both the French authorities (ANSM – French National Agency for Medicines and Health Products Safety) and our various partners. This means that, as part of the pharmaceutical contract manufacturing agreement, you can benefit from unique expertise in the manufacture of injectable drugs.

For pharmaceutical companies with a marketing authorisation (MA) or acting as an operating company, the use of a pharmaceutical contract manufacturer offers multiple advantages :

  • the customer benefits from the industrial expertise of the contract manufacturer.
  • by outsourcing the manufacturing, the customer can focus on development and operations activities.
  • a contract manufacturer such as CDM Lavoisier can also operate the drug, handling its marketing and distribution to customers.
