Seqens has more than 50 years of experience in developing and producing high-quality APIs.

TRUSTED SUPPLIER of APIS

With 1 000/m3 of cGMP production capacity, 130 R&D chemists and seven pilot units providing first class R&D capabilities, and proprietary technology, such as biocatalysis, to develop unique processes, Seqens has the capacity and competence to develop your API project successfully, to scale up production as needed, and to handle regulatory filings at every stage and in all markets.

Seqens has an in-house IP team for the design of non-infringing patent process to assure the customer the freedom to operate on the target market at the desired launch. But our target is not only to be the first but also to last to be part of the long term success of the project, that’s why in addition to patent-free we develop cost competitive products by incorporating original technologies and working on the last array of chemistries where Seqens has a strong knowhow.


We offer a dependable manufacturing network of five cGMP plants in Europe and one in the United States, all of which have a strong track record dealing with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and the Pharmaceuticals, Medical Devices Agency (PMDA) in Japan and other international regulatory agencies.


More than 50 APIs have been successfully launched in the United States, Europe and Japan with consistently superior quality, reliability and customer service, and supported by regulatory documentation to meet the most stringent standards from local agencies.

In house back integration for starting API materials

Additionally, to minimize the impact of variability in the quality of raw materials on production timelines and regulatory approval, Seqens’ has several pre-GMP sites that provide supply security with back-integration of raw material and regulatory starting materials. Without having to depend on third parties, we can obtain advanced intermediates in the necessary quantities for your project, while also controlling cost of critical materials. 

Multisite backup production of an API

Several GMP compliance production sites, Seqens can offer an additional level of supply security by offering the possibility of incorporating another site for the API production.
