EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ, June 1, 2022, /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

Cambrex, a leading global contract development and manufacturing organization

(CDMO) providing drug substance, drug product, and analytical services across

the entire drug lifecycle, today announced the acquisition of Q1 Scientific – a

leading provider of environmentally-controlled cGMP stability storage services

for the pharmaceutical, medical device and life science industries,

strategically located in Waterford, Ireland.

"Stability storage and testing is a critical component of drug development and

commercialization of new therapies. Q1 Scientific brings world-class

capabilities to our ever-expanding portfolio of outsourced pharmaceutical

services." said Tom Loewald, CEO, Cambrex. "This acquisition is a natural

extension of our current offerings that will broaden and increase our expertise

in this critical area, as well as our footprint in the European market."

Q1 Scientific's state-of-the-art cGMP facility is ICH validated to meet the

specific storage requirements of any pharmaceutical project, with options from

-80 C storage up to +50 C, with a full range of humidity control. The 20,000

sq. ft. Waterford facility boasts nearly 40 walk-in stability storage chambers,

reach-in freezers and stability units, and ultra-low temperature freezers for

biologic therapies. The company also provides sample management and transport

services.

"We're pleased to join Cambrex as we continue to provide leading stability

storage services to our current customers," said Stephen Delaney, CEO, Q1

Scientific. "With Cambrex's scientific expertise and scale, we'll be able to

accelerate our growth and offer an integrated suite of analytical services,

providing a full range of market-leading solutions for our customers."

Cambrex offers a variety of storage and testing capabilities with walk-in and

reach-in chambers that meet the ICH Q1A requirements. The acquisition will

expand Cambrex's capabilities into the European market.

As pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies continue to seek outsourcing

options for non-core capabilities to reduce their footprint, Q1 Scientific's

stability storage services, combined with Cambrex's industry-leading analytical

services portfolio, provide specialized capabilities of high value to the

industry.
