Bourgoin, France: Oral solid dose development and manufacturing facility

Supporting early- and late-stage oral solid dose development and commercial manufacturing, with specialized capabilities for high-potency APIs.

Key highlights at our Bourgoin site

Our Bourgoin, France facility is a center of excellence specializing in the early- and late-stage development and commercial manufacturing of oral solid dose (OSD) products, with a particular focus on high-potency active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).

Early-stage oral solid dose development hub

This 490-square-meter dedicated R&D hub features state-of-the-art equipment and technologies to support formulation development and mature product characterization of oral solid dose forms. Our comprehensive capabilities enable customers to accelerate their time-to-market by facilitating smarter decision-making, minimizing experimental efforts, and reducing risks.

GMP pilot plant for programs of all sizes

Our 1,100-square-meter pilot plant is dedicated to process development and clinical trial manufacturing (1–120 kg) with available capacity to accommodate programs of various sizes. This state-of-the-art facility is designed to maximize safety, minimize cross-contamination risk, and improve operational efficiency through containment-at-source processes and separate material and personnel flows.
