EUROAPI enhances its CDMO capabilities through a pivotal collaboration with SpiroChem, a leading Contract Research Organization (CRO)

EUROAPI announced today that it has initiated a pivotal collaboration with SpiroChem, a leading Contract Research Organization (CRO) with best-in-class status in the field of early Chemical Process R&D (route scouting). SpiroChem is headquartered in Basel, Switzerland. 

SpiroChem and EUROAPI are joining forces to offer their customers a consolidated CRO-CDMO solution, ensuring that industrialization constraints for small molecules are integrated from the initial step of drug design, thereby speeding up the process. 

Customers from both companies will benefit from SpiroChem’s cutting-edge expertise and innovative solutions in route scouting and EUROAPI’s industrialization strategy to develop the best synthetic routes directly in line with scale-up feasibility, quality, regulatory, environmental requirements, and economic sustainability. The agreement will further differentiate both companies’ value proposition as their customers will benefit from both SpiroChem’s early-stage premium services and EUROAPI’s development and GMP¹ manufacturing capacities and skills.

“By adding a renowned CRO partner like SpiroChem to our existing R&D and industrial offering, this fruitful collaboration will strengthen our market position and accelerate our CDMO roadmap,” said Cécile Maupas, Chief CDMO Officer of EUROAPI. “Together with 
EUROAPI’s production technologies, SpiroChem’s recognized capabilities in route scouting will enable us to provide customers with integrated customized solutions to make their chemical drug development shorter, greener and more cost-efficient.”

“Having EUROAPI as a partner brings a substantial value to SpiroChem’s customers who are looking for reliable CDMOs to rapidly and seamlessly scale up the innovative solutions developed by SpiroChem,” said Thomas Fessard, CEO and co-founder of SpiroChem. “Time is of the essence in early CMC² and we are confident that this collaboration will greatly benefit our customer base, in particular by accelerating the transition from discovery to development for early-stage projects and the biotech segment.”
