Under the motto “Value creation through innovation”, Siegfried has made a decisive contribution toward the market success of a drug currently on sale in the USA. The process development for the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) was carried out in Siegfried’s Pennsville (USA) plant where it is also being produced. The project is exemplary for Siegfried’s cooperation with customers in the pharmaceutical industry. The development of a demanding API takes several years and requires careful coordination among various areas of expertise in the field of process chemistry. The areas of expertise include analytical, scale-up to industrial quantities, and production with a high awareness for quality.
Marianne Späne, Siegfried’s Head of Business Development & Sales: “The aim of a successful supplier-customer model is to grow a business idea into a cooperation based on partnership that will lead to a successful strategic alliance. For us, the Novartis Supplier Award is proof that Siegfried is on the right track and is one of the world’s leading suppliers.”
