Product Development

At CPL, we take your molecule and develop it, scale it up, and manufacture it – and we do it all under one roof

We offer unparalleled formulation and product development services coupled with expert counsel and an emphasis on speed to market to keep your project moving in an efficient and cost-effective manner.

 

Our Product Development Services (PDS) team is comprised of more than 35 people, including 25 scientists, with decades of formulation development and analytical experience, supporting numerous NDAs, ANDAs, and pharmaceutical products. We take on brand-new projects (full formulation and development), pre-developed projects that need further scale-up or development, as well as fully developed or approved products, which we can move seamlessly from another site into ours. And with a sole focus on non-sterile liquids and semi-solids, our team possesses unmatched expertise in these dosage forms.
