Aptuit to expand API capacity in UK, Italy due to increasing demand
Connecticut-based CMO Aptuit opened a 1600L/1000L reactor stream at its API facility in Oxford, UK, and increased throughput at its 400L reactors at its site in Verona, Italy.
Jonathan Goldman, CEO of Aptuit, explained that the API capacity expansions come thanks to a 300% annual increase in demand for its APIs and for the company’s integrated candidate-to-IND development solution.
Goldman explained that Aptuit’s strategy will allow for increased throughput of integrated development programs, as well as to deliver standalone API at 40-120 kg batch scale for early to mid-stage clinical trials.
“There is a gap in the market for high quality API at this scale, and Aptuit is delighted to serve this need,” he said.
