AGC Biologics Expands US Manufacturing Through Pyramid Pharma Alliance

AGC Biologics enters a strategic partnership with Pyramid Pharma Services. The collaboration combines AGC Biologics’ expertise in drug substance development and manufacturing with Pyramid’s sterile fill-finish capabilities, creating a differentiated U.S.-based offering and providing developers with a fully integrated supply chain solution.

Through this partnership, clients gain access to comprehensive sterile fill-finish capabilities in the United States, including vials (liquid and lyophilized), pre-filled syringes, and cartridges. The integrated offering also includes device assembly, labeling, and secondary packaging services for clinical programs.

“We are always listening to our customers' needs and responding with solutions that help them meet their goals. With this U.S.-based fill-finish option, our Seattle site is well-positioned for developers that desire or even require end-to-end production in the U.S.," said Christoph Winterhalter, Chief Business Officer at AGC Biologics. "By combining our experience in mammalian and microbial manufacturing with a partner that has a demonstrated commitment to reliable sterile dose delivery, we offer an ideal pathway for developers to bring their products to patients through a streamlined, integrated supply chain via a single contract with AGC Biologics."

This new offering complements AGC Biologics’ existing European fill-finish capabilities, providing clients with geographic flexibility and a robust U.S.-based option to help navigate tariff exposure and enhance supply chain security.

Pyramid Pharma Services brings nearly four decades of experience in sterile injectable drug product development, including 26 years in GMP manufacturing and over a decade of commercial supply, with a strong track record of quality, reliability, and regulatory excellence. The company offers deep technical expertise in complex formulations, lyophilization, and scalable technology transfer, supporting efficient progression from development through commercialization. Its capabilities span formulation and process development, clinical and commercial fill-finish, device assembly, labeling, packaging, and comprehensive analytical services.
