Highly Potent Facility Details

Lonza has over 110 years of chemistry know-how and an API development and production track record few contract manufacturers can match. Our experience in producing highly potent APIs goes back over 15 years.

Over the past decade we’ve invested $150 million to build cutting-edge facilities for highly potent drug success. Today, we are able to offer a wide range of advance capabilities, from process development to large-scale manufacturing, with the potential for expansion and improvements to meet customer demand.

At the heart of our high potency capabilities is our Visp, Switzerland, site. Here a dedicated high potency team is able to leverage all of Lonza’s resources for effective and efficient highly potent API manufacturing.
