Draw on Exceptional Technical Experience and One of the Most Trusted Reputations for Reliability
AbbVie continues a legacy reflecting more than a century at the forefront of pharmaceutical development and manufacturing. For 25 years, AbbVie Contract Manufacturing has offered contract manufacturing services that today comprise biologics, potent, drug product, and fermentation, as well as selling high-quality active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
The creation of AbbVie when it separated from Abbott streamlined the business to solely drug development. Combining the focus of a biotech with the expertise of an established pharmaceutical leader, the contract manufacturing business is agile and flexible in its service for companies outsourcing the development and manufacturing of drugs. AbbVie Contract Manufacturing handles partners’ projects with the same dedication it shows its own products, and clients also gain access to the unique capabilities of a highly experienced developer and manufacturer.
AbbVie Contract Manufacturing has a portfolio of 10 state-of-the-art facilities, offering a broad range of capabilities in North America and Europe. Customers are also reliably served by one of the industry’s leading reputations for high-quality, on-time delivery. The company takes pride in its outstanding customer service record, with experienced planning and project-management specialists dedicating specific time slots for contract manufacturing.
