Simtra BioPharma Expands Manufacturing Footprint in North America and Europe

Simtra BioPharma Solutions, a leading contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) specializing in sterile injectables, is making progress on a dual-continent expansion strategy to meet growing global demand for complex, high-value therapies.

Simtra's expansion in Halle/Westfalen, Germany, continues in parallel. The company recently added a state-of-the-art conjugation and purification suite and inaugurated a new building with two new high-speed isolator lines, one for syringes and one for liquid and lyophilized vials. These investments reflect Simtra's global strategy to deliver high-quality sterile manufacturing solutions across key markets. 

"Our purpose is clear: to bring vital injectable products to customers and their patients worldwide," said Franco Negron, chief executive officer, Simtra BioPharma Solutions. "By expanding capacity and service offerings in both the United States and Europe, we are building the infrastructure needed to support innovation and reliability, now and for the future."

Simtra's growth strategy is closely aligned with high-demand therapeutic areas such as oncology medicines. The company produces nearly 200 million sterile units annually across its facilities and currently manufactures six of the 17 approved ADCs globally.

A key differentiator for Simtra is its matched capabilities in North America and the European Union, enabling customers to build resilient, end-to-end supply chains in their target markets. The company's integrated development services, including formulation and lyophilization development and its technology transfer capabilities, support clients from pre-commercial stages through full-scale launch and beyond. 

With more than 65 years of sterile manufacturing expertise and the agility of a newly independent company, Simtra is uniquely positioned to combine deep technical knowledge with a forward-looking approach to innovation and growth.

"Our integrated approach, cross-functional expertise, and continuity of project management help accelerate readiness for commercialization," added Negron. "From the outset, products are designed for high-quality manufacturing to maximize yields and facilitate scalability, saving time and money."
