Ardena Group launches Life Science Ingredients arm

The news business will manufacture chemical ingredients that can be used in the development of drug products, and in the healthcare and cosmetics industries.

Ardena LSI will manufacture chemical ingredients for the development of drug products in the Group’s European GMP certified plants, including BDDE 98% GMP (1,4-Butanediol diglycidyl ether) and EDC-HCl Ultra Pure.

The ingredients can be used by pharmaceutical manufacturers in the development of drug products, and for application in healthcare and cosmetics products such as dermal fillers

Harry Christiaens, CEO of Ardena, said: “The healthcare and cosmetic industry require a high and consistent quality of chemical ingredients to enable the manufacture of safe and reliable products.

“We have built up extensive experience as a CDMO in the area of chemical synthesis and through Ardena LSI we are now harnessing that experience to manufacture high-quality chemical ingredients that are essential for pharmaceutical manufacturers in European markets.

“Customers need suppliers that truly understand the chemistry behind drug development, and we will work closely with them to understand their specific requirements and provide the ingredient quality and volumes that they need according to GMP guidelines.”
