Our Enduring Story
Dedicated to Making It Better
For more than 35 years, CPL has been guided by a simple but powerful belief that complex pharmaceutical products demand focused expertise, disciplined execution, and long-term partnership.
Founded as a development and manufacturing organization dedicated to semi-solid and non-sterile liquid drug products, CPL has grown by doing one thing exceptionally well: supporting topical and liquid medicines through every stage of their lifecycle. While the industry has expanded toward generalization and scale at all costs, CPL has remained committed to specialization, continuity, and quality that endures.
Trends or acquisitions do not define our story; instead, it is determined by the trust we have earned through decades of consistent performance, technical rigor, and accountability to our customers and the patients they serve.
Purpose-Built for Semi-Solids and Non-Sterile Liquids
CPL is a pure-play CDMO. We do not try to be everything to everyone. Our capabilities are intentionally focused on:
- Semi-solid drug products such as creams, ointments, gels, and lotions
- Non-sterile liquid formulations, including solutions, suspensions, and nasal sprays
- Advanced topical delivery technologies, including nano micro encapsulations
This focus allows us to develop deep scientific understanding, invest in purpose-built infrastructure, and design processes that scale reliably from development through commercial manufacturing. It also ensures that our teams speak the same technical language across formulation, analytics, manufacturing, packaging, and supply chain, eliminating silos and reducing risk.
From Molecule to Commercialization without the Handoffs
Across the pharmaceutical lifecycle, fragmentation is often the most significant source of delay and risk. CPL was built to solve that problem. Our integrated model brings together:
- Product and formulation development
- Analytical method development and validation
- Product testing and stability
- IVRT and IVPT skin testing through our GMP Skin Lab
- Tech transfer and process validation
- Clinical and commercial GMP manufacturing
- Packaging, labeling, serialization, and aggregation
- Supply chain and customer alignment
Quality Is Not a Department, It’s Our Foundation
At CPL, quality is not an isolated function. It is embedded into how we design formulations, develop analytical methods, validate processes, manufacture products, and support long-term supply. Our quality systems are built to:
- Meet and exceed regulatory expectations
- Support inspection readiness at all times
- Enable efficient, right-sized compliance
- Protect patient safety and product integrity
This integrated approach allows CPL to move quickly without compromising rigor, ensuring that quality supports progress, rather than slowing it.
Partnership as a Long-Term Commitment
CPL does not measure success by individual projects alone, but by the longevity and strength of our customer relationships. We work closely with:
- Innovators advancing new therapies
- Generic manufacturers navigating complex equivalence pathways
- OTC brands managing scale, speed, and supply continuity
Our teams listen carefully, communicate clearly, and remain accountable throughout a product’s lifecycle. Whether supporting early development, rescuing stalled programs, or sustaining commercial supply, CPL partners with customers as an extension of their organization.
Built to Evolve without Losing Our Identity
While our focus has remained constant, CPL continues to evolve. We consistently invest in:
- Advanced analytical and skin testing capabilities
- Scalable manufacturing technologies
- Digital systems and data integrity
- Talent development and leadership continuity
