HIGHLIGHTS// early leader in serialization/ upgraded our tablet compression equipment/ multi-million dollar expansion of our packaging lines Why are liquid suspensions becoming such a key focus, and how is Mikart positioned? Formulating suspensions is a complex process that requires specialized expertise and equipment. According to our customers, few mid-market CDMOs do it well — and Mikart is one of them. There is growing industry demand for high-quality suspension manufacturing, driven by the needs of the aging baby boomer population and pediatric patients. For both groups, swallowing tablets or capsules can be difficult, making oral liquid suspensions a more practical alternative. In addition to being easier to administer, suspensions offer pharmacological advantages and can improve dosing compliance. Enhanced flavoring techniques further improve the patient experience — especially for children and infants — by making medicines more palatable. HIGHLIGHTS// growing industry demand for high-quality suspension manufacturing/ suspensions offer pharmacological advantages/ improve dosing compliance How does Mikart balance tradition with innovation to meet modern customer demands? At Mikart, we work hard to preserve the values of a traditional family business, even as we continue to modernize. Our goal is to make every customer feel like they are our top priority. Each customer is supported by a dedicated project manager who serves as their primary point of contact, along with direct access to key team members across departments. This structure ensures our customers are never isolated from our subject matter experts and can get timely, accurate answers to their questions. We're also mindful of the "technology trap" — the tendency to pursue every new innovation at the expense of focus and efficiency. Instead, we rely on market data and customer trends to guide our investments, enabling us to concentrate our resources and capital on technologies that meet real market needs. HIGHLIGHTS// customer is supported by a dedicated project manager/ customers are never isolated from our subject matter experts/ we rely on market data and customer trends to guide our investments/ meet real market needs Looking ahead, what's in store for Mikart in the next 5-10 years? Mikart's strategic plan is now in full motion, and with the momentum we've built, 50 percent growth is within reach. This projection is backed by a strong pipeline of annual FDA filings, a growing customer base, and a robust portfolio of active Pharmaceutical Development Services projects. As we grow, we remain committed to delivering exceptional service and continuously evolving to meet the changing needs of our customers. With renewed political emphasis on domestic manufacturing for the US market, we are ideally positioned to support the rapid, cost-effective development and production of high-quality medicines here at home. As we approach our 50th anniversary in the CDMO industry, we celebrate our legacy and look forward with optimism to the opportunities ahead in the next 5 to 10 years.

Global API micronization market set to surge 49% by 2030, led by specialized industry pioneers

Precise particle size control has become the cornerstone of modern pharmaceutical manufacturing. With highly potent active pharmaceutical ingredients (HPAPIs) and complex formulations driving unprecedented demand, micronization technology is no longer optional — it's critical. The market reflects this urgency. The global API micronization market will jump from US$ 2.47 billion in 2024 to US$ 3.68 billion by 2030 — a 49 percent surge driven by a robust 6.84 percent CAGR. What's powering this growth? Strategic innovation by industry leaders. Companies like Munit SA, Lonza, Catalent, Veranova, EUROAPI, AGC Pharma Chemicals, Hovione and Coral Drugs aren't just participating — they're defining the future of pharmaceutical particle engineering. The Micronization Landscape: How leading companies are advancing pharmaceutical particle engineering The API micronization space is being shaped by companies with specialized expertise. Munit’s proprietary fluid jet milling technology brings particle sizes down to the 1-micron level — critical for inhalation therapies. In addition, this technology enables precise control over particle size distribution without mechanical impact, making it ideal for heat-sensitive and high-potency APIs. With decades of hands-on experience, Munit ensures batch-to-batch consistency, scalability from R&D to commercial volumes, and full compliance with GMP standards. Munit offers high-containment isolators — including glove boxes for R&D and half-suit isolators for larger batches — with industry-leading containment levels, limiting airborne drug exposure to as low as 0.025 micrograms per cubic meter. This makes it particularly well-suited for handling highly potent or sensitive compounds, exceeding the capabilities of other commercial-scale players like Catalent, who typically achieve containment levels of 0.05 micrograms per cubic meter or higher. EUROAPI has taken a broad particle engineering approach, offering both micronization and spray drying across multiple dosage routes — oral, inhaled, and parenteral. AGC Pharma Chemical leverages spray drying and amorphous solid dispersion technologies across small molecules, peptides, ADCs, and oligonucleotides, exemplifying the evolving intersection of particle engineering and modern drug delivery innovation. Coral Drugs delivers cutting-edge technology and customization capabilities that tailor particle sizes to specific client requirements across tablets, injectables, and topicals. This dynamic competitive landscape continues to evolve as companies expand capabilities and form strategic partnerships.
