How will the new R11 manufacturing facility enhance production capacity and meet growing market demands?

With its building shell complete and equipment installation underway, the facility will feature 20 reactors across four multi-purpose production lines, offering capacities from 1,000 to 6,000 L. This expansion will add 73 cubic meters of production capacity, targeting high-value, complex molecules, particularly in clinical development stages. Scheduled for full qualification by late 2025 or early 2026, the R11 facility will increase overall manufacturing capacity by 25%. For US clients, it will provide flexible mid-scale production tailored to smaller volumes, and specialized therapeutics, ensuring a more robust, diversified and geographically redundant supply chain. How does Procos differentiate itself from other API manufacturers?

We specialize in custom synthesis, offering tailored solutions for emerging therapies that require highly specialized APIs. Our advanced R&D capabilities, combined with a strong manufacturing capacity and a collaborative approach, enable us to meet client demands efficiently and cost-effectively.

What steps is Procos taking to minimize its environmental footprint?

We are committed to reducing our environmental impact through investments in energy-efficient technologies, waste reduction, and sustainable sourcing practices. Our R&D team plays a vital role in optimizing manufacturing processes for maximum efficiency, which not only ensures high production standards but also contributes to a greener future. We are preparing our first sustainability report, scheduled for release in 2026. How does Procos adapt to the evolving needs of biotech firms?

Biotech firms are often at the forefront of cutting-edge medicine, requiring specialized manufacturing processes for complex molecules. Procos supports these companies by developing tailored processes to meet their unique needs. We work closely with smaller biotech firms, offering flexibility in adapting our services to their specific requirements. Our expertise enables us to assist in the development of critical components for advanced therapies, ensuring we meet the increasing demands of the specialized drug market. What are the challenges of partnering with smaller biotech companies in today’s capital environment?

Smaller biotech firms often experience more fluid and rapidly changing dynamics compared to larger pharmaceutical companies, with their needs frequently shifting due to changes in the capital environment. Procos emphasizes flexibility and adaptability, adjusting timelines and being ready to scale production quickly as projects progress. Supporting these companies while managing the uncertainties in funding and timelines is key to fostering long-term, successful partnerships. What are Procos’ objectives for the upcoming year?

Procos is poised for transformative growth in 2025, driven in part by the commissioning of our R11 facility. This new facility will significantly enhance our small-scale production capacity, enabling us to meet the growing demand for high-quality, specialized APIs in the US market. We will continue to invest in cutting-edge technology and talent development to ensure we stay at the forefront of the API manufacturing industry and support our clients’ evolving needs.
