Hovione, the leader in spray drying and particle engineering, won the 2023 CDMO

Leadership Award (https://www.cmoleadershipawards.com/) across all six

categories – capability, compatibility, expertise, quality, reliability and

service across all three groups of respondents (Big Pharma, Small Pharma, and

Overall (combined Big and Small Pharma)). Hovione was given additional

recognition as a CDMO Leadership Award Champion in the categories of

Compatibility and Expertise for scoring as a top performer in comparison to the

assessed by 23 performance metrics in ISR’s annual Contract Manufacturing

Quality Benchmarking survey.

"We are honored and proud to receive this award in all six categories. This

broad recognition reflects the dedication of our team to help our customers

deliver much-needed medicines to the market," said Dr. Jean-Luc Herbeaux,

Hovione’s CEO. “This is not the first time Hovione is recognized by the CDMO

Leadership awards and winning these awards once again reinforces our commitment

to excellence and differentiation in the services we provide to our customers.”

“For over a decade, these awards have been the most meaningful for biopharma

organizations striving to obtain optimal outcomes from their outsourcing

activities. Our research arm, ISR Reports, which only surveys drug sponsors who

have worked directly and recently with specific CDMOs, ensures the validity of

these results. Our winners are your gold medalists of outsourcing,” said Louis
