Hovione New Jersey

The Hovione New Jersey site commenced operations in 2002 providing process development and small volume API manufacturing. Since then its technologies portfolio has greatly expanded with additional offerings in highly potent compound, a variety of particle engineering capabilities and drug product continuous services. The site was first inspected by the FDA in 2007 and hence has had an excellent track record with multiple regulatory authorities around the globe.

The Hovione New Jersey site is again expanding its capacity in the U.S. This will begin in early 2024 with an additional pharmaceutical spray dryer size 2 at our existing building at 40 Lake Drive. The New Jersey campus has welcomed a new building located at 89 Twin Rivers Drive. This is an adjacent building which will carry the same FDA registration number and contain two state of the art pharmaceutical spray dryers size 3. This new building will commence operations of each of its spray dryers in late 2024 and early 2025 respectively. Our continued growth will use the latest technologies to best serve our partners and patients by providing an integrated offering from Drug Substance to Drug Product at Hovione in New Jersey.
