A global brand entering Europe
A global, Japan-headquartered company set out to launch a private-label product line for European customers. Building a European facility, learning a new regulatory system and running production in-house would have turned a market-entry decision into a multi-year capital project.
Custom GMP products, fully compliant, fully integrated
They needed a European CMO/CDMO that could produce custom-formulated products under GMP (EU Annex 1), guarantee full regulatory compliance, and integrate seamlessly into their existing GMP production environments - so the private-label line could reach European customers without the build.
A tailored CMO/CDMO model
PAN-Celltech built a service model on flexibility, compliance and trust:
- GMP-compliant production-process development, for both new and existing products.
- Customised packaging formats in single-use bags or bottles, designed to fit the partner's GMP workflows.
- Full QC testing and QA documentation to meet European pharmaceutical standards.
- Delivery to the partner's designated EU production site.
Market access without building a plant
A flexible, compliant, trusted model let a global manufacturer put its own label on GMP products made in the EU - market access without building a plant. The engagement is an ongoing CMO/CDMO supply.
