Facilities
Baltimore, MD
Cambrex Baltimore was originally established in 1990 as Bio Science Contract Production Corp., and one of the first bulk biopharmaceutical
contract manufacturing companies in Maryland. Recently, Cambrex Baltimore underwent a successful FDA PAI inspection which
contributed to a BLA approval for Tercica's Increlex.
Hopkinton, MA
Cambrex Hopkinton was founded in 1987 as Seragen Inc. and was one of the first companies to produce a licensed biologic and
the Hopkinton team continues to manufacture it today.
Cambrex Hopkinton was first successfully inspected by the FDA (US Food and Drug Administration) in April 1998 (PAI inspection)
and has since undergone several successful re-inspections. The facility was also successfully inspected by the EMEA (European
Agency for the Evaluation of Medicinal Products) in August 2002 and December 2005 in support of commercial filings (MAA) on
behalf of two major clients.
