The world’s only searchable, sortable database of Cell and Gene Therapy (CGT) CDMOs worldwide that is publicly available and continuously updated.
A contract manufacturing organization (CMO) is a company that provides manufacturing services to cell and gene therapy companies on a contract basis. Contract development and manufacturing organizations (CDMOs) are similar, in that they offer services that include cell therapy product development, manufacturing, clinical trial support, and commercial supply.
Contract Manufacturing for Cell and Gene Therapies
Among cell and gene therapy companies, the pressure for manufacturing innovation and optimization can incentivize them to seek third-party partners who possess technical, manufacturing, and regulatory expertise. Benefits of partnering with a cell or gene therapy CDMO include scalability, speed to market, access to technical expertise without overhead costs, and cost efficiencies. This database features companies who specialize in manufacturing and clinical trial support specifically for cell and gene therapies (CGT).
In addition to industry giants that include Lonza, Catalent, WuXi Advanced Therapies, Minaris Regenerative Medicine, and others, there are specialty CDMOs serving the CGT marketplace.
For example, FUJIFILM Cellular Dynamics opened a $21M cGMP production facility to support its internal cell therapeutics pipeline, as well as serve as a CDMO for iPS cell products.
Similarly, Helixmith, a biotech company with an extensive gene therapy pipeline and a CAR-T program targeting solid tumors, expanded into CDMO services for early-stage CAR-T developers.
In other news, ThermoGenesis launched CDMO services with expertise in CAR-T cells, T cell receptor (TCR), tumor-infiltrating leukocytes (TILs), natural killer cells (NKs), iPSCs, and MSCs.
Anemocyte announced itself as the first BMO (Biotech Manufacturing Organization) in the field of cell and gene therapies. In addition to building 2000 sq. meters of GMP and GMP-compliant facilities for the production of ATMPs, its FLYn’ICE project is using drones equipped with cryogenic pods to achieve temperature controlled transit of cell and gene therapies.
Similarly, Excellos opened its doors with $15M in funding and access to one of the largest cellular material procurement portfolios yet to support cell and gene therapy manufacturing.
In another noteworthy event, RoslinCT, a cell and gene therapy CDMO based in the UK, and Lykan Bioscience, a CDMO focused on cellular therapeutics in Hopkinton, MA, merged to form an international CDMO specializing in advanced therapeutics—with a specialty in gene editing and iPSC capabilities.
Of course, there have been hefty M&A deals inked within the cell and gene therapy CDMO sector as well. For example, industry behemoth Thermo Fisher Scientific snagged Brammer Bio for an astonishing $1.7 billion, while Catalent acquired Paragon Bioservices for an impressive $1.2 billion and MaSTherCell for $315 million.
Also, Hitachi Chemical Advanced Therapeutics Solutions (HCATS), apceth Biopharma GmbH, and Hitachi Chemical Co., Ltd. Regenerative Medicine now operate under the joint name of Minaris Regenerative Medicine, while Charles River Laboratories (CRL) acquired Cognate BioServices for a hefty price tag of $875 million. Additionally, Ascend Gene & Cell Therapies raised an impressive $132.5M to launch itself as a CDMO specializing in AVV-based gene therapies.
In late 2023, Bayer opened a $250M cell therapy manufacturing facility to advance regenerative medicines on a global scale. Its 100,000 sq. ft plant was launched to help break current bottlenecks associated with manufacturing transformational cell and gene therapy (CGT) products. Around the same time, Ajinomoto Co. acquired CDMO Forge Biologics for an astounding $620 million to enhance its Bio-Pharma Services business.
In January 2024, EXO Biologics launched its wholly owned subsidiary, ExoXpertTM, as a CDMO specializing in exosomes. ExoXpert offers a MSC-based exosome manufacturing platform used in European clinical trials.
Similarly, Esco Aster is a global CDMO that is supporting the rapidly emerging field of EVs, producing both regenerative medical-grade naïve extracellular vesicles (MNEVs) and Continuously Engineered Exosomes/Extracellular Vesicles CEEVs (CEEVs).
Finally and perhaps most importantly, in February 2024, Novo Holdings announced it was acquiring the global CDMO Catalent for a staggering $16.5 billion in enterprise value.
Database of Cell and Gene Therapy CDMOs
In recent years, CDMOs to advance transformational regenerative medicines have proliferated, with the goal to break the current bottlenecks constraining the production of these novel therapeutics. When you claim this database, you can immediately know the identities of all known cell and gene therapy CDMOs worldwide.
It takes our analysts hundreds of hours of research to uncover these cell and gene therapy (CGT) CDMOs from across the globe and requires the translation of websites in numerous languages.
