CDMO Activity Tracker: Veranova, ChemExpress invest in ADC facilities; Cohance to set up oligonucleotide facility in India

The contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) sector has emerged as a key partner in new drug development. This was evident from the strategic investments, partnerships, and expansions witnessed in the third quarter (Q3) of 2025. Several CDMOs, such as Cohance Lifesciences, Fermion Oy, Axplora, AGC Pharma Chemicals invested in new projects. Others, including Veranova, Aenova, and Biosynth, expanded capacities, while Ofichem strengthened its footprint with the acquisition of Avivia BV. CDMOs like Fareva, Evonik, and Samsung Biologics forged strategic partnerships for growth. During Q3, the sector continued to adopt artificial intelligence (AI). This prompted the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to issue guidance that recognizes the increasing use of AI and data analytics in drug development. View CDMO Activity Tracker for Q3 2025 (Free Excel Available) Cohance, Veranova invest in bioconjugation suites in US; ChemExpress inks ADC deal Earlier this year, Indian drugmaker Suven Pharmaceuticals Limited merged with leading CDMO Cohance Lifesciences Limited. The merged entity — Cohance Lifesciences — has invested US$ 10 million in a current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) bioconjugation suite at its subsidiary NJ Bio in Princeton, New Jersey. NJ Bio is executing a major program for an existing innovator client with multiple antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) candidates. Cohance also announced an INR 230 million (approximately US$ 2.58 million) investment in a cGMP oligonucleotide facility at its Hyderabad (India) site. Veranova’s Devens (Massachusetts) site successfully passed a routine FDA cGMP surveillance inspection with a “No Action Indicated” (NAI) classification. Earlier, the company had initiated a US$ 50 million investment to expand its ADC and bioconjugate capabilities at its Devens site. This includes a 9,000-square-foot facility expansion with a new process development lab, two additional cGMP suites, and state-of-the-art bioconjugation development and manufacturing capabilities. These initiatives strengthen the site’s highly potent API (HPAPI) and ADC development and manufacturing capabilities. Biosynth has expanded its Berlin facility with a new GMP bioconjugation suite.
