Syngene Acquires its First US Manufacturing Facility

The state-of-the-art biologics facility, acquired by Syngene USA Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Syngene, from Emergent Manufacturing Operations Baltimore, LLC (a subsidiary of Emergent BioSolutions Inc.), will expand Syngene’s growing global biologics footprint to better serve its customers across human and animal health market segments. The new site will increase Syngene’s total single-use bioreactor capacity to 50,000 L for large molecule discovery, development, and manufacturing services. Additionally, it will provide Syngene’s customers with continuity of supply from its four development and manufacturing facilities located in India and North America, offering services ranging from cell line development, process optimization and both clinical and commercial supply.

Syngene’s investment in its first facility in the United States marks a strategic commitment to the US market, with significant benefits for the local economy and the broader life sciences industry. The facility is expected to create jobs, stimulate local economic activity, and strengthen domestic biologics manufacturing capabilities, while also contributing to pharmaceutical innovation and supply chain resilience. This investment highlights the potential for deeper economic collaboration between India and the United States, fostering sustained economic growth and advancing the shared goal of bolstering critical healthcare infrastructure.

“With one of the largest biologics R&D teams and commercial scale manufacturing capabilities in both India and the USA, we now offer a compelling and flexible solution for global pharma and biotech customers," commented Peter Bains, CEO Designate, Syngene. "This investment will enable Syngene to cater to growing client requirements in an expanding market. It will also provide clients, access to collective service capability of multiple geographic sites, scientists and experience.”

“This facility is a significant milestone for Syngene and comes in response to growing client demand in the United States, the fastest-growing biologics market," added Alex Del Priore, Senior Vice President – Development & Manufacturing Services, Syngene. "It strengthens our offering for animal health clients looking for USDA approval for their products. Most importantly, it increases the options we can offer our global customers, providing commercial-scale biologics manufacturing capabilities across our global network and will be underpinned by existing key client projects.”
