Guided by the insights and feedback from its customers, it committed to investing over US$150M between 2019 and 2023.

Our overall team currently consists of >60 multi-disciplinary scientists (chemists, analysts and engineers).
Non-GMP manufacture of kg quantities of intermediates and APIs is currently possible within our bespoke Scale-up laboratory facility and a new GMP Kilo-lab facility was brought online in 2023 capable of kg quantities of GMP API suitable for early phase clinical studies. Developed processes are frequently transferred to Sai’s manufacturing sites in India for further scale-up when required.
