Projects can be fully managed from a single site, combining formulation, process and analytical development in one place. When a project benefits from capabilities across several sites, we coordinate through a single project manager, with cross-site teams pooling formulation, analytical and manufacturing expertise and direct transfer of knowledge and processesbetween sites.
