Connect in pharma 2023 | Hovione

Hovione presenting at the upcoming “Connect in Pharma” in Geneva.

 

Connect in Pharma drives innovation, business, and new partnerships in four key areas: Innovative packaging, drug delivery systems, CMO/CDMO, and filling & assembling processes, supporting pioneers in the pharma and biopharma industry. With conferences, workshops and curated networking “Connect in Pharma” offers a platform to drive innovation and solve challenges.

 

On June 14, José Luís Santos, Director of Technology Intensification will host a session on “The Role of a CDMO in Accelerating the Adoption of Continuous Tableting” and will join a group of experts during a panel discussion on the topic of “Continuous Manufacturing of solid dosage forms: state of the art and future advances”.

 

Session | The Role of a CDMO in Accelerating the Adoption of Continuous Tableting

Wednesday 14 June, 2:00 PM - 2:30 PM (Theatre 2)

 

The application of continuous tableting (CT) is steadily developing a foundation in the pharmaceutical industry. Large pharma organizations have been at the forefront of adoption due to their evolving development pipelines that justify the technological disruption. However, systemic application of CT requires more than individually owned installations and can only be achieved with the partnership of the health authorities, equipment vendors, and contract development and manufacturing organizations (CDMOs).

A CDMO role is particularly important for the adoption of emerging technologies such as CT, in that an equipment standard needs to be established where most of the industry can seamlessly integrate with their own development, manufacturing, and supply chains. The processes and knowledge of owning and operating the technology must be broad, yet robust, to assure that the benefits outweigh the perceived risks by a meaningful margin.

This talk will focus on the key areas that require attention for the adoption of CT by the industry, and how at Hovione we are setting ourselves up for successful deployment of the technology.

The CDMO’s New Jersey manufacturing site expansion will eventually cover more than 200,000 square feet. Portugal-based contract development and manufacturing organisation (CDMO) Hovione has completed an initial $100 million investment round in its East Windsor, New Jersey site. Once completed it will increase the facility’s footprint to more than 200,000 square feet and more than double its capacity for spray drying. Hovione CEO Jean-Luc Herbeaux said: “Since launching our New Jersey operations in 2002, Hovione has been one of the longest established European CDMOs in the United States. “This investment reinforces Hovione’s leadership in spray drying – a core technology platform where we have built extensive know-how and capabilities. By continuing to advance our platforms and expand capacity in the US, we are strengthening the foundation that enables our partners to bring complex medicines to patients more efficiently.” Spray drying is an increasingly important particle engineering technology for improving drug bioavailability through the amorphous solid dispersion (ASD) that can address bioavailability or crystallisation challenges. The initial phase of Hovione’s expansion will include a 31,000-square-foot building to house two size-3 spray dryers (PSD-3) designed for ASD production. Construction at the New Jersey site is already underway and the company plans to start GMP operations in the second quarter of 2026. The initiative is part of Hovione’s long-term strategy to grow its US operations and enhance its integrated drug substance, drug product intermediate and drug product capabilities. Herbeaux said: “This investment addresses growing customer demand for US-based capacity and integrated solutions that shorten development timelines and reduce tech transfer complexity. By consolidating development, scale-up, and commercial manufacturing within a single quality and governance framework, we provide customers with seamless execution from drug substance to drug product.” The company’s New Jersey expansion fits into its wider international growth plan that also includes capacity investments in Ireland and Portugal as it seeks to create a network of autonomous sites spanning the development and commercialisation of APIs, drug product intermediates and drug products.   Read the full article at EuropeanPharmaceuticalReview.com

Hovione doubles spray drying capacity with $100m US investment round

Nov 04, 2025

The latest from CDMOs, CMOs, and suppliers featuring Thermo Fisher Scientific, Lonza, SK pharmteco/Lotte Biologics, Hovione, Sai Life Sciences, BioCina, Alcami, Piramal Pharma/IntoCell and Roquette. Formulation Development/Drug Product Manufacturing: Hovione Completes Initial $100-M Investment Cycle in US Operations Hovione, a CDMO of drug substances and drug products, has completed an initial $100-million investment cycle at its site in East Windsor, New Jersey, as part of a strategy to increase its US operations and enhance its integrated drug-substance, drug-product intermediate, and drug-product capabilities. Upon completion, the site will cover more than 200,000 square feet.   The initial expansion phase includes a 31,000-square-foot building that will house two size-3 spray dryers (PSD-3) designed for production of amorphous solid dispersions (ASDs). This investment more than doubles Hovione’s spray-drying capacity in the US by expanding capabilities for ASD development and commercial manufacturing. Construction is underway at the New Jersey site, with GMP operations planned to start in the second quarter of 2026.  As part of this expansion, Hovione has also acquired additional adjacent land to enable future growth at the East Windsor site. The 125,000-square-foot greenfield will support large-scale production, including continuous and batch tableting capacity, and introduce the latest pharmaceutical technologies and digital innovation with enhanced quality control and R&D capabilities.    Read the full article at DCATvci.org
