Expansion in Asia Esteve CDMO is investing over $80 million to relocate, expand, and modernize its manufacturing presence in China, adding a new facility with substantial reaction volume and advanced automation. This signals a growing capability and capacity to support global clients, offering potential collaboration on small-molecule APIs and contract manufacturing.

CDMO Growth signals The company emphasizes its ESTEVE CDMO division as a key growth engine with capabilities across development and manufacturing of small-molecule APIs in multiple regions (Spain, Mexico, China, USA). This creates opportunities for partnership in early development through scale-up and commercial manufacturing.

China capacity boost New Shaoxing facility bringing additional 250 m³ of reaction volume and automation highlights a focus on increasing high-precision manufacturing capacity in a strategic market, presenting opportunities to route Asian and global clients through ESTEVE CDMO for increased throughput and digitalized operations.
