According to Dr. Chakrabarti “this new acquisition will fit neatly and synergistically with our other Pharmaceutical services and manufacturing companies – especially PMC Isochem in France with three sites that include manufacturing of excipients and APIs as well as protein engineering, drug development and drug discovery services; and PMC YM-Pharma in Hyderabad, India, which provides process development and advanced pharmaceutical intermediate manufacturing services.” Dr. Raj Chakrabarti added that Copperhead will also have further manufacturing and marketing synergies with PMC Ouvrie, which is a leading supplier of defoamers, surfactants, and protective colloids for food and other industrial applications. He further added that “with the acquisition of Copperhead, PMC Group International is now poised to provide an end-to-end CDMO offering spanning all phases of drug development and manufacturing across three continents.”
