Contract Manufacturing

From laboratory to full-scale production

For more than 70 years we have been building a profound technical and chemical knowledge of the production of ingredients for the pharma industry, based upon contract manufacturing of well-established ingredients as well as supporting customers throughout the process of taking a new product from laboratory to full-scale production. We specialize within contract manufacturing of products based upon Dextrans, Dextran Derivatives or Starch.

We can assist with detailed plans for process optimization and scale-up for Active pharmaceutical ingredients (API´s) and intermediates as well as knowledge about regulatory approvals. We handle all the technical aspects of the start-up of chemical production, including quality control and assessment of relevant environmental and safety conditions. We have a strong network of partners who can assist with coordination and advice during the process.

Our Core Capabilities

pK Chemicals´ production site in Køge is a multi-purpose factory enabling the flexibility needed to satisfy demands for contract manufacturing and handling of all the following processes: Syntheses, purifications, separations, drying and grinding.

The size of our Haarlev plant allows us to offer designated isolated production areas for large production lines.

Both plants can handle new production - either installed with equipment provided by pK Chemicals or equipment fully owned by the customer.
