Aenova statement on the Evolution of the CDMO Industry

07/11/2024 - Aenova statement on the Evolution of the CDMO Industry

Starnberg, 07.11.2024

The current issue of the renowed magazine CHEManager International features a very interesting series of interviews on the topic "The Evolution of the CDMO Industry". More than 25 executives and industry experts give their views on how their companies. Aenova Chief Commercial Officer Neil Jones is among them and shares his view on the CDMO market and highlights three key aspects of an excellent partnership between customer and CDMO partner. Read <a href="https://www.chemanager-online.com/en/news/expert-statement-neil-jones-aenova">more</a>.
The evolution of the CDMO sector is propelled by rising manufacturing standards, the advent of groundbreaking therapies, and a shift towards personalized medicine.
Contract development and manufacturing organizations (CDMOs) have been on the rise in the last decade. Historically, CDMOs operated on a business model which predominantly focused on serving as external service providers for manufacturing pharmaceuticals. This model included the addition of capacity by the acquisition of manufacturing facilities from (bio)pharma companies or own capital investments. However, CDMOs have increasingly become innovation leaders and cover more areas of the pharma business, not just manufacturing, opening up additional revenue streams.

Aenova strengthens its development services focusing on pre-formulation and bioavailability enhancement

04/10/2024 - Aenova strengthens its development services focusing on pre-formulation and bioavailability enhancement

Starnberg, 04/10/2024

Aenova, one of the world's leading Contract Development and Manufacturing Organizations (CDMO) strengthens its development services, in particular in the areas of formulation and pre-formulation as well as clinical trial services. Thus, Aenova offers its customers an even wider range of end-to-end services in the product life cycle of a drug. The pharmaceutical development market is becoming increasingly complex, with drug discovery and biopharmaceutical companies having a portfolio of molecules that are more difficult than ever to deliver to the human body and to formulate into finished dosage forms. At the same time, with rising R&D costs and increasing pressure to deliver results, pharmaceutical companies must be able to streamline their research processes and optimize their resources. Aenova has responded to these market demands by significantly strengthening its offering in development services in order to support development programs as early as possible, even starting at the pre-clinical phase. As a trusted CDMO, Aenova´s expanded development services provide a science-driven integrated approach from pre-formulation to final formulation at minimum API consumption, as well as analytical method development. A comprehensive technology offering is now available to address the formulation and bioavailability challenges of poorly soluble drugs, including lipid-based formulations, Hot-melt extrusion (HME), spray drying, pelletization with down stream processing in tablets, capsules and low-dosed capsules for all API classes including high-potent APIs. This applies to both NCEs (new chemical entities) and generic reformulations. The range of products and services includes API characterization and formulation services, analytical development, as well as prototyping in fully GMP pilot plants that are integrated in the Aenova manufacturing sites. Aenova has decades of experience in development and offers its customers development services from six Development Centers of Excellence. Highly skilled formulation and analytical scientists bring many years of experience in all phases of the product life cycle. Aenova has also massively invested in the development and fill & finish manufacturing services of injectables in pre-filled syringes and vials. Thus, customers receive all product phases from development to large-scale production from single source and can be supported individually and flexibly according to their needs and regarding various sizes of projects. With this extension of capabilities and a wide range of patient centric dosage forms, Aenova is also targeting new patient populations in need of more patient-friendly medicines, such as children and the elderly. For instance, Aenova has specific platforms for chewable softgels, for the production of nutraceutical or pharmaceutical gummies, for effervescents, and for ODTs (orally disintegrating tablets). These dosage forms are often favored for their ease of administration and can be adapted to consumer health or nutraceutical products but also prescription products. “While CDMOs must continue to support the lifecycle of existing products and technologies, they also need to keep investing in additional capabilities to offer an even broader range of services to help pharmaceutical and biotech companies accelerate their programs and focus their resources where they can add the most value. With its extended range of development services, Aenova is in a position to support its customers in exactly this area”, explains Florent Bordet, Chief Scientific Officer at Aenova.

Aenova expands with new gummy line for pharma and food grade

28/08/2024 - Aenova expands with new gummy line for pharma and food grade

Starnberg, 28/08/2024

Aenova, one of the world's leading CDMOs (Contract Development and Manufacturing Organizations) for the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries, is implementing a new gummy line at its site in Cornu, Romania. Gummies are quickly emerging as the dosage form of choice for many food supplements and even pharmaceutical applications. The new gummy line will be launched by the end of 2024 with a capacity of approximately 1 billion gummies per year. The global gummy supplements market has reached a value of over $ 9 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow to $ 18.2 billion by 2033. The surge in demand for gummies (chewable gels) is driven by a number of benefits related to convenience, indulgence, and efficacy. Aenova's new gummy line addresses this market with a complete, state-of-the-art production area for gummies, including bottle packaging, which has been developed with an investment of approximately € 8 million. The manufacturing process is starchless and offers food and pharmaceutical grade (GMP) production for gelatin and pectin formulations with halal, kosher, and vegan options available. Format settings can be tailored to suit a range of sizes and shapes. The new line, with a capacity of approximately one billion gummies per year, is scheduled to go live at the end of 2024. While gummies are helpful for children and anyone who has difficulty swallowing or digesting medications, adults enjoy them as well. Specialized gummy formulas can address specific needs such as immune system support, bone health, digestive issues, pain, sleep, or antioxidants. Gummies release their active ingredients when they are chewed and their flavor can mask unpleasant tastes and odors, providing a much more enjoyable experience than traditional pills. With formulas that are free of artificial colors, flavors or even sugar, they also offer vegan-friendly options that use pectin as a base, giving consumers a health-conscious choice. “Our new gummy area offers our customers a brand-new platform that will facilitate our entry into an attractive market and allow our company to gain a competitive edge in terms of experience, flexibility, and market presence. With over 40 years of experience in gelatin cooking and handling, Aenova offers excellent standards of hygiene, efficiency, and product quality”, comments Michael Ammann, Managing Director Site Cornu / Vice President Operations Softgel Capsules at the Aenova Group.

Aenova expert article on "Optimising the pre-filled syringe filling process"

31/07/2024 - Aenova expert article on "Optimising the pre-filled syringe filling process"

Latina, 31/07/2024

In recent years, the market demand for user-friendly injectable delivery systems has increased. 
The development of Prefilled Syringes (PFS) has piqued substantial interest in the industry, primarily due to its unique advantages. PFS, designed for self-administration, offers rapid injection efficiency and unparalleled dosing accuracy, making it a game changer in the field of injectable delivery systems. Among the currently available fill-and-finish technologies, peristaltic pump dosing and single-use filling assemblies have attracted attention as clean technologies that allow gentle product transfer and minimize shear stress on formulation. For this study, conducted at the Aenova Group’s Latina site in collaboration with the Pharmacy Department of “G. D’Annunzio” University (Chieti-Pescara), a custom-designed, single-use filling assembly made of ePTFE and silicon was utilized. This innovative assembly, chosen to minimize operator handling and connection in an aseptic environment, is high-temperature resistant, can be cleaned in place (CIP) and sterilized in place (SIP) and is resistant to mechanical stress with minimal spallation phenomenon. These features significantly contribute to its practicality and effectiveness in PFS manufacturing. The quality of the filling profile is critical to ensure dosing accuracy. Therefore, the study’s scope was to understand the influence of the filling line parameters and the geometry of the filling assembly on the filling profile and dosing accuracy. A design of experiments approach was applied, and a capability analysis was performed to evaluate statistical process control. An optimal combination of the best possible filling profile and filling speed sustainable for business purposes was identified, providing valuable insight into the challenges of PFS manufacturing. The results obtained by Aenova, set a benchmark for fill-and-finish manufacturing processes. They show that the configuration and type of materials identified can be a viable alternative for the production of biological injectables whose active ingredients are susceptible to gamma radiated materials or exposure to high levels of hydrogen peroxides. This finding ensures filling stability for extended production runs, providing crucial information for the industry. Aenova is a global leading Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization with a Competence Center for sterile technologies at its site in Latina, Italy.
The study on the topic "Optimizing the Prefilled Syringe Filling Process for Biological Molecules Using Innovative Single-Use Technologies: A Design of Experiments Approach" is published in the current issue of the renowned magazine “Pharmaceutical Manufacturing and Packaging Sourcer – Parenteral Technology Supplement 2024”.

Aenova wins 'Highest Innovative Strength' award

05/04/2024 - Aenova wins 'Highest Innovative Strength' award

Starnberg, 05/04/2024

Aenova has achieved the best result in the generics sector in a study on the innovative strength of German companies, making it the number one company in Germany. The study was conducted by the renowned German newspaper Die WELT in cooperation with the Cologne-based analysis institute ServiceValue. In the online survey, more than 200,000 managers were asked about the innovative strength of 2,350 German companies from various sectors. The survey focused on the company- or market-related innovative strength of the strategies and concepts of the companies assessed, as well as the impetus that the respective company gives to the market. Aenova was awarded "Highest Innovative Strength" in the pharmaceuticals/generics sector, taking first place in Germany ahead of large, well-known competitors in the generics market. Aenova's strategy is increasingly focused on innovation, for example in the development of special technologies and development offerings for generics as well as for patent-protected drugs. Even in the generics sector, drugs that are no longer protected by patents can be innovatively developed further, for example to improve patient convenience with a modified dosage form. One example is the reformulation of a tablet into an orodispersible tablet (ODT), which simply dissolves in the mouth - a growth market that is becoming increasingly important in view of the aging population. At the same time, Aenova continues to invest heavily in highly efficient and semi-automated production capacity for high-volume generics in order to reliably meet the demands of the market. However, Aenova is also expanding its range of differentiated technologies beyond the generics portfolio. In the area of special technologies for new drugs, the company is focusing on the expansion of innovative platforms for improving the bioavailability of active ingredients (e.g. hot melt extrusion, spray drying, softgel capsules), micro-dosed capsules, fill & finish of injectable drugs, high potency drugs, particularly in the field of oncology, and blockbuster products. With its broad range of services, Aenova offers its customers the added value of end-to-end services from development to commercial production for all common dosage forms and thus plays a key role in the global supply of medicines. "The award for "Highest Innovative Strength" honors our strategy of sophisticated development services and innovative special technologies combined with outstanding production capacities. Our goal is to provide our customers, and thus patients worldwide, with their medicines reliably and in the highest quality," explains Jan Kengelbach, CEO of Aenova. "This applies to both high-volume generics and originator products, such as diabetes and cancer medicines. Aenova is characterized by a broad, innovative product range that can respond flexibly to increased market demand.

The idea for the donation campaign was born at the Aenova Corporate Sales Meeting, which took place at the Aenova site in Kirchberg (SG), Switzerland, in February. The company already has a long-standing partnership with the Heimstätten Wil foundation. The Heimstätten Wil Foundation offers living and working spaces for around 400 adults with disabilities. The services are geared towards their individual needs and requirements. External jobs are also offered in cooperation with companies in the primary labor market. Around 160 specialists, apprentices and interns work at the foundation. The Aenova site in Kirchberg has been working with the Heimstätten Wil foundation since the pandemic. Back then, the pharmaceutical company commissioned the foundation to assemble Christmas hampers for its employees. Aenova develops, produces and packages soft gelatine capsules in Kirchberg for the pharmaceutical and healthcare industry, helping patients all over the world to lead healthier lives. More than two billion capsules leave the factory every year and are sold in over 100 countries worldwide, including Europe, the USA and China. The site also fills softgel capsules with highly effective active ingredients in extremely low dosages, where the proverbial Swiss precision is required. Around 170 employees contribute to the success of the company in Kirchberg. "I am very pleased with the decision to donate to an organization in our immediate neighbourhood. We would like to make a contribution to the valuable work of the Heimstätten Wil Foundation," explains Dr. Christian Luftensteiner, Managing Director at the Aenova site in Kirchberg. "Thank you to the Aenova Corporate Sales employees for their generous donation! Every bit of support helps us to get closer to our vision of an inclusive society," says Arlette A. Hippmann, Head of Communications, Heimstätten Wil Foundation.

New white paper from Aenova: "Faster time to market for pharmaceuticals using capsule low-dosing technology"

29/02/2024 - New white paper from Aenova: "Faster time to market for pharmaceuticals using capsule low-dosing technology"

Starnberg, 29/02/2024

One of the biggest challenges in pharmaceutical research and development is to complete development projects as quickly as possible. More and more drugs fall into the category of 'unmet medical need' and therefore qualify for accelerated approval. But developers need time to optimise the formulation of the sensitive or highly potent compounds that dominate the current pipeline of drug candidates. Finding the right balance between speed and thoroughness is a challenge. But it can be solved by choosing microdosing technology in capsules. Manufacturers can dose small amounts of pure active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) or mixtures directly into hard capsules. Microdosing of less than 5 mg or low doses of 5 mg to 100 mg in hard capsules is a good option that allows manufacturers to get new drugs into research and development or onto the market faster. The direct, precise and reliable filling of low-dose hard capsules can be scaled up in an industrial process. This means that processes developed for initial studies can be used for commercial production, eliminating some study and development work and bringing a drug to market faster. Learn more about low-dose capsule technology in Aenova's white paper "Accelerating drug product launches using low-dose capsule technology" in collaboration with the renowned expert platform c&en of the American Chemical Society (ACS). The Aenova sales team will be happy to advise you if you have any questions.

Aenova Christmas campaigns: Employees donate to social organisations

18/01/2024 - Aenova Christmas campaigns: Employees donate to social organisations

Starnberg and Tittmoning, 18/01/2024

Once again this year, Aenova organized an internal fundraiser to benefit socially disadvantaged people. Aenova employees at the Aenova headquarters in Starnberg donated winter clothing and winter shoes to a local social institution in December 2023. Many charitable organizations are reporting a decline in donations. This affects disadvantaged and socially disadvantaged people in particular. This makes it all the more important for a charitable organization to be a reliable donation partner. "It is a central concern of ours to support people in need and the socially disadvantaged. A big thank you to our employees who made this joint campaign possible again this year," explains Dr. Susanne Knabe, Head of Corporate Communication at Aenova. The donations in kind were handed over to the facility on January 16, 2024.
At the 2023 summer party at the Aenova site in Tittmoning, there was a raffle with the aim of donating the proceeds to social causes. Apprentices at the site organized the raffle and a large number of employees took part in buying raffle tickets. In December 2023, the donation was handed over to the association "Mia fia Eich e.V" ("We for you"), which supports various social organizations in the south-east of Bavaria. "We can't make the world a better place, but we can make our environment a better world". Under this motto, the association Mia fia Eich e.V., based in Traunstein, has set itself the goal of making a positive and active contribution to daily coexistence through many small good deeds. The Aenova site in Tittmoning regularly supports the "Mia fia Eich e.V." association. As part of its corporate social responsibility strategy, the Aenova Group with its 15 locations worldwide is primarily involved in the local environment and supports charitable initiatives at the individual production sites and at headquarters.<figure><img src="https://www.aenova-group.com/content/_medium/Aenova_Christmas-Charity_2023_double.jpg" data-image="560489" alt="Aenova Charity"><figcaption>left: The treasurer of the association "Mia fia Eich e.V" ("We for you") and the youth trainee representative of Aenova Tittmoning at the donation check handover; right: Tim Bauer, Chief People Officer, and Dr Susanne Knabe, Head of Corporate Communication, before transferring the donations to the recipient organization </figcaption></figure>

Tittmoning

Capacity increases for around 20 million euros: Aenova further expands its high-volume solids site in Tittmoning

05/12/2023 -Capacity increases for around 20 million euros: Aenova further expands its high-volume solids site in Tittmoning

Tittmoning, 04/12/2023

The Aenova Group is one of the world's leading contract manufacturers and development service providers for the pharmaceutical and healthcare industry. Within the Aenova Group, the Tittmoning site is the largest plant for solid oral dosage forms with a capacity of around 10 billion tablets and capsules per year. Due to consistently high demand, Aenova is continuing to invest in this site. In the coming months, four high-speed packaging lines will be installed there at a cost of around EUR 10 million, as well as an additional bulk production line for large-volume preparations with a further investment of EUR 10 million. The market demand for conventional oral solids - tablets, film-coated tablets and hard capsules - is constantly increasing. For this reason, extensive expansion projects have already been realised at the Aenova site in Tittmoning in recent years. A new production building with a total area of 3,100 square meters was put into operation in 2022. The investments made, including new bulk and packaging lines, amounted to a total of around EUR 35 million and aimed to increase capacity by 2 to 3 billion packaged tablets in the final expansion stage. In this context, the new investment projects amounting to around EUR 20 million will increase packaging capacity by around 100 million to a total of 400 million blisters and bulk capacity by almost 1 billion tablets per year. "The additional systems in the bulk production area follow the proven principle of semi-continuous production and the new high-performance packaging lines have fully automated end-of-line packaging. The higher degree of automation not only brings economic benefits, but also supports our product and service quality. At the same time, the investments will create around 50 new, state-of-the-art jobs in the region," explains Dr Helmut Stibich, Managing Director at the Tittmoning site. The first high-speed packaging line will go into operation at the end of 2023, with an almost identical line expected to go into operation in the third quarter of 2024; two further lines will be installed by the first quarter of 2025. A new, fourth production line for large-volume bulk products is to be added by the end of 2024. "With these investments, Aenova is consistently continuing its growth course and consolidating its leading position among the production facilities for conventional solids in Europe at the Tittmoning site. This is an important step towards offering our customers delivery times in line with the market and ensuring patient care," comments Jan Kengelbach, CEO of the Aenova Group.

Joint Audit Initiative Annual Meeting 2023

24/11/2023 - Joint Audit Initiative Annual Meeting 2023

Starnberg, 24/11/2023

This year, the annual meeting of the JAV (Joint Audit Initiative) was held in Iserlohn, North Rhein-Westphalia, from 24 to 25 October 2023. The "Joint Audit Initiative - JAV" is an organization, with the purpose to provide the partners with audit reports on supplier qualification. A few years ago, some of the leading pharmaceutical companies in Germany made the decision to perform joint supplier audits. Also the Aenova Group is member of the joint initiative. Different companies from pharmaceutical environment, no matter if partners or competitors, big players, or smaller companies, are participating with mutual respect and understanding in a cooperative and expert-wise auditing collaboration. This activity is reducing time, personnel effort, and budget for both: auditors and supplier of materials. All these companies are united through a common GMP practice and development. Each company brings in the auditing process their local auditors which are locally certified under own policies following the same principles of the QMS (Quality Management System). On the top of that, JAV itself underlines a set of rules to be followed internally by its members so the actual implementation of this joint initiative is guided in a centralized way. The JAV Annual General Meeting brings all member companies together once a year to discuss current topics and promote mutual exchange. The Aenova Group was represented by Mirela Pop, Corporate Quality Manager. At Aenova, membership of the Joint Audit Initiative also stands for high quality standards, commitment to customer excellence and outstanding supplier management.A different member company hosts the annual meeting each year. In 2019, the annual meeting took place at the headquarters of the Aenova Group in Starnberg near Munich. Good interactions, successful collaboration and innovative solutions - that is what characterises these meetings, as well as other successful audits.

National Future Day in Kirchberg SG

16/11/2023 - National Future Day at Kirchberg SG site

Kirchberg, 16/11/2023

This year's National Future Day took place in Switzerland on November 9. 12 girls and boys left the classroom and immersed themselves in the world of work at our Kirchberg SG site for a day. A change of scene that turned into a big "working day" for our young guests. The schoolchildren were given many insights into a wide variety of professions at our Kirchberg site: in the laboratory, the workshop, production, the high-bay warehouse and the offices. Under expert guidance, they were able to carry out their own color experiments in the laboratory, "cook" gelatine in the large production kitchen and process it with rubber gloves, weld little men and name tags in the workshop and climb onto a large forklift truck in the high-bay warehouse - all this and much more was offered to the children on Future Day. Around 2,500 companies, organizations, vocational schools and universities gave interested schoolchildren an insight into gender-atypical fields of work on Future Day 2023. This allows girls and boys to look at their professional future without rigid gender stereotypes.The Aenova site in Kirchberg is a competence center for the development and production of soft gelatine capsules.

The central role of contract manufacturers in pharmaceutical supply

31/10/2023 - The central role of contract manufacturers in pharmaceutical supply

Starnberg, 31/10/2023

<h5>How CDMOs help ensure the supply of medicines</h5>
Contract manufacturers have a pivotal role in drug supply worldwide, and the trend toward outsourcing continues unabated. Reasons for this include expiring patents on small molecule drugs, the increasing number of small molecules in clinical trials, the rise in chronic and age-related diseases, and the rapidly growing oncology market. At Aenova Group, one of the world's leading CDMOs (Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization) with around 4,000 employees worldwide, there is a significant increase in demand across all dosage forms and therapeutic areas, partly due to post-corona conditions. In this context, it is challenging to install all the necessary capacities, machines and staff, in a timely manner, as equipment manufacturers have long lead times and additional staff often have to be found.
Aenova is driving a growth strategy with massive investments for each site, either to expand existing capacity or to expand the range of innovative technologies. In total, there are 14 new growth platforms at Aenova, eight of which are already commercially active.
<h5>Capacity expansions to meet increased demand</h5>
A few examples illustrate this strategy: the Aenova high-volume site in Tittmoning, Germany, has been expanded to a production capacity of ten billion tablets per year, and four new blister lines with significantly increased capacity will start there by the end of 2025. At the Latina site in Italy, a brand new sterile filling and finishing area (incl. biologics) for prefilled syringes and RTU vials was created. Follow-up investments of around EUR 15 million are currently underway there to increase capacity for prefilled syringes (PFS). In Carugate, Italy, production capacities for the manufacture of semisolids and non-sterile liquids have been expanded with an investment of around EUR 10 million. At the Regensburg site, the new building for the development and production of highly active pharmaceutical ingredients (up to OEB 5) was opened in June 2023, a total investment of around EUR 25 million. Capacities for effervescent products will be almost doubled at the Bad Aibling site by 2025. Aenova is investing significantly in expanding production in the area of all common dosage forms.
<h5>Innovative technologies for novel therapies</h5>
The development of new drugs for a wide range of therapeutic areas is a steadily growing market and is progressing rapidly. Therefore, a smart innovation strategy is essential for contract developers and manufacturers.A CDMO should actively support customers with innovative approaches already during development services. At Aenova, there are currently various initiatives for differentiated technologies, which are primarily aimed at patient-friendly forms of therapy based on complex therapeutic systems and improved bioavailability of active ingredients.

Carugate

Aenova invests in additional production capacity for semi-solids and non-sterile liquids at their Carugate site

12/10/2023 - Aenova invests in additional production capacity for semi-solids and non-sterile liquids

Carugate, 12/10/2023

Aenova is enhancing the existing infrastructure in four areas at its Carugate site (Italy), covering both pharmaceutical and cosmetic products. With an investment of around 10 million Euros, Aenova will be able to significantly increase its production capacity to meet increased market demand.
Semi-solids for pharmaceuticals, medical devices and cosmetics, as well as non-sterile liquids, continue to experience increasing demand. To meet these growing market needs, Aenova, a world leading Contract Development & Manufacturing Organisation (CDMO), is installing more modern and efficient equipment at its Carugate site (Italy). The investment of around 10 million Euros will enable four major projects to be implemented: A new filling line for non-sterile liquids, a more efficient turbo-emulsifier, a more complex filling line for cosmetics and a larger warehouse. 
 Aenova's Carugate site, with 145 employees, has been producing and packaging semi-solids for pharmaceuticals, medical devices and cosmetics, as well as non-sterile liquids, since 1994. The new filling line for non-sterile liquids will increase capacity to more than 10 million units per year. The versatile line also enables the filling of bottles with variable dosages from 10 ml to 350 ml and different types of closures (screw or crimp of metal and plastic cap, spray, dropper). The new turbo-emulsifier means that the facility can now manufacture batch sizes ranging from 300 litres to 5,000 litres. In addition to the increase in production, it will also be possible to produce other types of products, such as flammable liquids, as the area is ATEX rated. In the cosmetics sector, the current filling line will be replaced by a new modern high-speed line that can fill a wider variety of tubes of special sizes and shapes, including those with cannulas. The newly built warehouse next to the plant increases capacity by almost 3,000 pallet spaces, providing more than sufficient in-house GMP storage to meet the growing demand. "With the implementation of these four projects, we will effectively have a completely new plant with more modern and more efficient equipment by the end of 2023. This will not only enhance our capabilities, but also our position within the marketplace as a "Centre of Excellence for semi-solid and non-sterile liquid manufacturing", explains Marco Falzolgher, Managing Director of the Aenova site in Carugate. "Not only will we be able to better respond to market needs and customer requests, but we will also be able to expand our service offering to reliably provide products to patients and consumers around the world." "Within the overall investments of the Aenova Group, the capacity expansions for semi-solids and non-sterile liquids in Carugate are an important strategic building block. In line with our motto "Excellence beyond manufacturing", we want to be a reliable and agile partner for our customers in key market segments," comments Roel de Nobel, Chief Operations Officer of Aenova Group. The capacity expansions are expected to be completed by the end of 2023. Additional customer orders can be produced from 2024.

Aenova achieved the highest score in the pharmaceutical company category of the "Germany's Best 2023" study. With 100 points, Aenova, internationally active contract manufacturer and development service provider for the pharmaceutical and healthcare industry, came out on top as the best pharmaceutical company in the area of supplier reputation in the survey conducted by the renowned business magazine Focus Money.
 The award is based on an analysis conducted by the Institute for Management and Economic Research (IMWF) on behalf of DEUTSCHLANDS TEST among 20,000 companies and brands from more than 200 industries. The study evaluated over 400 million online sources in the period from May 2022 to April 2023 using the so-called social listening method. The data collection was carried out in two stages: first, all texts of German-language .de Internet domains were loaded into a database according to certain criteria. Subsequently, this data was split and analyzed according to predefined characteristics, e.g. tonality. In this way, information from a wide variety of online channels, such as websites, blogs, social media, forums, etc., is examined to find out which companies or brands have the highest provider reputation. The results of this study are based on around 44 million mentions of companies. The company always informs the public in a comprehensive and timely manner about the various developments within the Aenova Group. News from various areas, such as sustainability and social commitment, are published and addressed to all target groups, whether customers, partners, investors, candidates, young trainees or employees. There are also frequent reports from the 14 production sites of the Aenova Group, most of which are among the largest employers in their region, for example on capacity expansions and innovations in the development and production of pharmaceuticals. Aenova's lively and positive activities are thus reflected in this excellent rating. "First and foremost, it is the development of the Aenova employer brand that underlines the importance of the people who work for us in the company," explains Tim Bauer, Chief People Officer at Aenova. For Dr. Susanne Knabe, Head of Corporate Communication & PR, the award is the result of Aenova's open and transparent communication strategy: "We are very present on the Internet and regularly provide the public with freely accessible information. We simply have a lot of interesting topics to report on that contribute to this pleasing result."<figure><img src="https://www.aenova-group.com/content/_medium/Siegel_DT_Deutschlands-BESTE_2023_AENOVA-GROUP_1.-Platz.jpg" data-image="559444" alt="Deutschlands Beste 2023"><figcaption>Aenova was named the best pharmaceutical company in the area of supplier reputation (seal: DEUTSCHLAND TEST)</figcaption></figure>

New Aenova white paper in cooperation with c&en on "Development of highly potent medicines”

10/08/2023 - New Aenova white paper in cooperation with c&en on "Development of highly potent medicines”

Starnberg, 10/08/2023

HPAPIs (highly potent active pharmaceutical ingredients), provide precision treatment for cancer, autoimmune disorders, infectious diseases, and other medical conditions. Their safe handling is a challenge for drug manufacturers, who have to meet equipment, environmental and product quality requirements in the production and development of HPAPIs. HPAPIs represent one of the fastest-growing market segments in the global pharmaceutical industry. Aenova, as one of the world's leading CDMOs (Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization), offers its customers state-of-the-art facilities covering the complete life cycle from development to commercial supply with high flexibility and scalability. In collaboration with the renowned expert portal c&en, journal of the American Chemical Society, Aenova has now created a white paper specifically on the topic of how to challenge the increasing requirements in the production of HPAPIs by partnerships. Title of the whitepaper is "Supporting Development of Highly Potent Medicines with Manufacturing Flexibility”. CDMOs incorporating HPAPIs in their processes must take precautions at every step from development to production. This white paper describes e.g. the sophisticated production facilities, including isolators to contain material, personal protective equipment, and designated rooms with advanced air-handling-systems. The Aenova experts explain processing protocols and containment processes at the Aenova sites and point out how to achieve flexible, agile manufacturing coupled with operator safety and product quality. Aenova offers its customers a full service portfolio for high potent solids technologies (oncology, hormone therapy, immunomodulating therapy) from development to commercial production.

Aenova Latina site and Edison Next strengthen partnership by continuing the energy transition

27/07/2023 - Aenova Latina and Edison Next strengthen partnership

Milan / Latina, 27/07/2023

<h5>New photovoltaic plant of more than 1 MW</h5>
Edison Next, an Edison Group company that accompanies customers and territories on their path to decarbonization and energy transition, and Haupt Pharma Latina, member of the Aenova Group, that is among the world leaders in the pharmaceutical field, take another important step along the road to decarbonization of the Borgo San Michele production site in Latina, which, with 600 employees and 40,000 square meters of floor space, is one of the largest in the entire Aenova Group and is located in an area considered the pharmaceutical hub of Lazio. Specifically, Edison Next, under a 15-year contract signed with Aenova, will be responsible for the design, installation, maintenance and operation of a new 1.135 MW solar tracking photovoltaic plant to be installed on the ground within the production perimeter of the Latina site. The plant, which will be commissioned by the end of the year, will be capable of producing more than 2,000 MWh per year. The new photovoltaic plant, built under a PPA (Power Purchase Agreement) formula, will have an area covering about 4,800 square meters and will consist of 10 inverters and more than 1,800 modules, mounted on solar tracking support structures with a north-south orientation. "The construction of this photovoltaic plant represents a further step in the path begun a few years ago together with Aenova with the aim of improving the sustainability and energy autonomy of the Latina site," says Marco Steardo Director of Industry at Edison Next. "Photovoltaics represent a strategic resource for the energy transition of companies. It is a well-established and mature technology that can ensure immediate benefits in terms of, both environmental impact and energy cost reduction. In fact, self-producing renewable energy also means increasing one's independence from the grid by decreasing one's exposure to price volatility." "Environmental sustainability combined with economic levers are the key to our future, as a company, as a relationship with our territory. We have a responsibility to improve year after year and to look to future generations," says Paolo Abbate, managing director of Haupt Pharma Latina, member of the Aenova Group. "The partnership with Edison Next is a virtuous example of how common goals can make Europe and our customers create synergies and bring competitiveness. It is a positive model to be replicated on many other challenges of innovation and technological improvement." The share of self-consumption of renewable electricity produced by the photovoltaic system built by Edison Next will be about 80%. The remaining portion that is not self-consumed will be fed into the grid. This plant represents a new piece in the journey that Edison Next and Aenova began together almost a decade ago with the goal of increasing energy independence and decreasing the environmental impact of the Latina site. This photovoltaic plant will make it possible to meet 23 percent of the plant's electricity needs, taken to date from the grid, through renewable sources and, adding to other energy solutions already implemented by Edison Next, will make it possible by the end of the year to meet a substantial portion of the site's energy needs through self-generation. The result will be an estimated reduction in atmospheric emissions of 746 tons of CO2 per year.(1) (1) Total avoided emissions are equal to the difference between emissions for thermoelectric production from fossil sources and emissions for production from photovoltaics (equal to 0). Emissions from thermoelectric production are calculated by multiplying the expected electricity production by the emission factor of the Italian thermoelectric fleet as defined in ISPRA environmental reports.

Innovative drug formulations make medicines more patient-friendly: Aenova and Galvita enter strategic partnership

13/07/2023 - Aenova and Galvita enter strategic partnership

Starnberg / Basel, 13/07/2023

The Aenova Group is a leading global contract manufacturer and development service provider for the pharmaceutical and healthcare industry. As a full service provider, Aenova develops, produces and packages all common dosage forms, product groups and active ingredient classes from pharmaceuticals to dietary supplements for human and animal health. Galvita is an innovative Swiss start-up company specializing in the development of patient-friendly, age-appropriate dosage forms.
Aenova and Galvita have entered into a strategic partnership effective July 1, 2023. The aim of the partnership is to improve the development, formulation and production of oral dosage forms. To this end, Galvita brings knowledge of specific child- and senior-friendly formulations that feature faster oral disintegration, better taste masking and higher drug loading than oral dosage forms currently available on the market. Galvita's revolutionary and patented Templated-Inverted Particles (TIP) technology consists of clinically tested calcium-phosphate microcapsules that can be loaded with a wide variety of active ingredients via a self-loading mechanism. The capsules are then processed into tablets. These tablets have the property of disintegrating almost instantly upon ingestion, releasing the active ingredient. Patients with swallowing disorders (dysphagia) can thus be supplied effortlessly. Another advantage is taste masking of active ingredients. This technology thus increases acceptance and adherence to therapy, especially among special patient groups such as children and the elderly. Above all, it offers an alternative to intramuscular injection in many cases. As a broad-based CDMO (Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization), Aenova brings many years of expertise, extensive GMP knowledge, international resources, rapid scalability and effective market access for the technology to the partnership. As Galvita's strategic industrial CDMO partner, Aenova will offer this technology for customer projects at its site in Sisseln, Switzerland. Aenova's Sisseln site is the Competence Center for complex solids within the Aenova network and develops and produces innovative, customized solutions for oral solid dosage forms. The two managing directors of the new partners, Jan Kengelbach, CEO of Aenova Group, which is the industry partner of the cooperation, and Dr. Roland Haag, co-founder and CEO of Galvita, agree: "The portfolio and the experience and knowledge of the individual companies complement each other perfectly in order to be able to offer an almost unique added value even faster for our customers and, above all, for patients worldwide."

Aenova opens new building for the production of highly potent drugs at the Regensburg site

23/06/2023 - Aenova opens new building for the production of highly potent drugs at the Regensburg site

Regensburg, 23/06/2023

Aenova opened its new building for highly potent active ingredients at the Regensburg site on June 22, 2023. Highly potent drugs against cancer, among other things, are produced in the new production facilities. With a total investment of around 25 million euros at the Regensburg site, Aenova will thus be able to significantly increase its development and production capacities for the increased market demand for highly effective drugs.
Cytotoxics and cytostatics are in increased demand in the global pharmaceutical market. To meet this steadily increasing demand, Aenova, the world's leading development service provider and contract manufacturer for the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries, has built a new building at its Regensburg site for the development and production of highly effective active pharmaceutical ingredients. The total investment of around €25 million will enable the company to significantly expand its production of highly potent active ingredients up to OEB 5 and, in particular, of cancer drugs. The new building was opened on June 22, 2023. The Aenova site in Regensburg has been developing and producing tablets and capsules with highly potent active ingredients such as methotrexate, hydroxycarbamide, azathioprine, imatinib since the 1950s. These are, for example, drugs for the treatment of inflammatory diseases such as psiorasis or arthritis, against autoimmune diseases, drugs against cancer such as leukemia, but also novel drugs (so-called New Chemical Entities, NCE). The special feature of many of these drugs is their high efficacy, which means that the active ingredients already have the desired effect in the smallest doses, but special safety standards must therefore also be observed during development and production. The new four-story building with a total building area of more than 4,000 m² houses the production and packaging of highly potent tablets as well as the associated laboratories, development, storage and social rooms. This means a significant expansion of the production area and the areas of development and laboratory by over 2,100 m² at the Regensburg site. After the planned start-up at the beginning of 2024, the production capacities can thus be increased in volume by significantly more than 1 billion tablets and capsules. An entire floor is reserved for flexible customer requests for "on demand" production, so that existing and new customers can be individually supported in line with their requests. The new building is part of the strategic profiling of the Regensburg site for the development and production of highly effective medicines. Around 400 people are employed at the Regensburg site. The Regensburg site is "Competence Center HPAPI & Oncology Products" within the Aenova Group with leading HPAPI development, production and packaging facilities for high-potent solids. “The new building is an important milestone for this," explains Oliver Schmied, Managing Director at the Aenova site in Regensburg. “Producing billions of tablets and capsules each year, Aenova is a partner of choice for novel product solutions as well as commercial high-volume manufacturing. A particularly unique selling point is that we offer production flexibility using harmonized production equipment, enabling small to large batches from 0.5 to 500kg for development, CTM, scale up and commercial batches," continues Oliver Schmied. "Within the overall investments of the Aenova Group, the new building for highly potent APIs in Regensburg is an essential strategic building block. As a development and manufacturing partner, we are thus a reliable and agile CDMO (Contract Development & Manufacturing Organization) for our customers in the promising market segment of highly potent active ingredients," comments Jan Kengelbach, CEO of the Aenova Group. With the new building, Aenova will not only be able to better serve market needs and customer requests in the future, but above all reliably provide vital medicines for patients with cancer worldwide. In the next few months, the laboratories and the new "on-demand" GMP area will be set up. Customer orders can go into production from 2024.

Starnberg, 06/04/2023

Aenova, one of world's leading contract development and manufacturing organisations for the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries, has achieved silver status in the latest EcoVadis sustainability rating. This documents the Aenova Group's continuous improvement of its sustainability in the categories "environment", "labor and human rights", "ethics" and "sustainable procurement".
Certified proof of sustainability in the areas of environment, labor, ethics and procurement is becoming increasingly important for companies and their suppliers. Around half of the world's leading pharmaceutical companies use the EcoVadis assessment for this purpose. The Aenova Group also undergoes an annual assessment by EcoVadis. In the areas of environment and labor and human rights, the best results were achieved with 70 out of 100 maximum possible points. With a percentile of 84, Aenova is among the top 25 percent of companies evaluated by EcoVadis. The production steps in the pharmaceutical industry are energy-intensive. A good Ecovadis result also distinguishes responsible action in the use of natural resources. According to Ecovadis, around 91% of companies now take sustainability criteria into account when making purchasing decisions. "Sustainability is not an empty phrase for us, but an important strategic goal," says Jan Kengelbach, CEO of Aenova Group. "Our sustainability strategy always includes further optimization in sustainability and environmental topics. For example, the Aenova site in Sisseln already operates completely CO2-free, many sites have photovoltaic systems as well as special wastewater treatment or their own combined heat and power plants, and we are continuously expanding the sites." The EcoVadis methodology covers a total of seven management indicators, comprising 21 sustainability criteria in four thematic areas: Environment, Labor and Human Rights, Ethics and Sustainable Procurement. It is based on leading standards such as GRI (Global Reporting Initiative), UNCC (UN Climate Change) and ISO 26000, and is overseen by an international scientific committee. It evaluates companies' performance by analyzing policies, measures and results.

There, portfolio and capacities are being expanded, especially in the area of prefilled syringes (PFS) as well as intramammary syringes.
Aenova Group, a leading international contract manufacturer and developer for the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries, has launched a restructuring program for its Sterile Manufacturing business within the semi-solida and liquida business unit. This is aimed at significantly expanding capacity at the large Aenova sterile site in Latina, Italy.Over the past 24 months, more than 20 million euros have been invested in the Latina plant to offer customers a high-performance site with state-of-the-art filling technology for sterile dosage forms, especially vials and PFS. This new manufacturing area has already been approved by the Italian authorities. Follow-on investments of approximately 15 million euros are currently underway to further expand the offering. This is mainly aimed at increasing capacity for prefilled syringes (PFS). This is Aenova's response to the market demand for PFS and the increased customer requirements for this fast-growing sterile dosage form. With further expansions, Aenova is also positioning itself as a service-oriented end-to-end provider in this area. In the course of this concentration, consequences will be drawn at Aenova's other sterile sites, as a comprehensive reorganization of the sites is not economically feasible, in particular due to the additional regulatory requirements for sterile production that are now coming into force. Therefore, the site in Wolfratshausen, Haupt Pharma Wolfratshausen GmbH, will be closed in 2023 and the sterile manufacturing sub-segment at the Gronau site, Haupt Pharma Wülfing GmbH, will be discontinued. Customer projects should be transferred or completed according to plan. At the Gronau site, the focus in the future will be on the successful solida business with capacity expansions already being implemented. "Our restructuring and focus on our Latina sterile site is targeting a growth market. This pays off for the entire Aenova strategy. It puts us in an excellent position for the future," explains Jan Kengelbach, CEO of the Aenova Group.

Starnberg, 07/02/2023

Employees of the pharmaceutical contract manufacturer Aenova organized an internal donation for the Starnberger Tafel in December 2022. The official, symbolic handover of the check took place on February 2, 2023.
Starnberg, February 03, 2023 - The war in Ukraine, increased energy prices and inflation hit disadvantaged and socially weaker people particularly hard. Therefore, employees of Aenova, a global contract developer and manufacturer for the pharmaceutical and healthcare industry, organized a donation initiative before Christmas. At the Aenova headquarters in Starnberg, the employees collected a sum of money for the "Starnberger Tafel", a charitable organization that gives food that would be wasted to people in need. The joint donation amounts to 1,500 euros.
On February 02, 2023 the official, symbolic check handover took place. Two employees of Aenova visited the "Starnberger Tafel", informed themselves about the work of the Tafel and helped with the food distribution.
"Picking up and sorting the food is very time-consuming and the volunteers at the Starnberger Tafel work outdoors in all weathers", reflects Dr. Irayani Berger, Vice President Corporate Quality at Aenova. "A great commitment!", adds Dr. Susanne Knabe, Head of Corporate Communication at Aenova. "We are happy to be able to help people in the local area of Aenova's headquarters in Starnberg with the joint donation of our employees."
"We are very grateful for this unforeseen donation. Such donations support us in our work. There are many needy citizens who urgently need the food we collect", explains Erika Ardelt, first chairwoman of the board at Starnberger Tafel.

Aenova successfully expands capsule filling capacity

11/01/2023 - Aenova successfully expands capsule filling capacity

Regensburg, 11/01/2023

Producing billions of capsules each year, Aenova is a partner of choice for novel product solutions as well as commercial high-volume manufacturing of hard capsule products.
At the Regensburg site, one of the leading HPAPI development, production and packaging facilities for high potent solids, production flexibility is a key issue. For this reason, the equipment at the site was expanded with a state-of-the-art IMA capsule filling machine: IMA Adapta 200. Oliver Schmied, Managing Director at the Regensburg site, explains the background in an interview with the machine manufacturer.
<h5>What were the drivers behind the project to expand your capsule filling capacity?</h5>
Having acquired new business involving large volumes of capsules to be produced at the Regensburg site, we were faced with the need to significantly increase our filling capacity as early as possible. Our focus was on obtaining highly efficient processes with a view to achieving maximum flexibility to best meet all customer requirements. It was evident from the start that we needed to implement the most recent, innovative technologies to reach our goals.
<h5>In terms of engineering capabilities and process optimisation, how would you describe the collaboration with IMA Active?</h5>
We had to address a number of issues, some of which were critical, so the most valued aspect of our relations with IMA can be summed up in a few words: transparent, open discussions and constructive input to find all the right answers. This is the basis of a true professional partnership and the benefits go in both directions, to the customer and the supplier. To mention one issue, considerable efforts were made by IMA’s engineering team to successfully install the new ADAPTA capsule filler into extremely limited floor space. Further to this, we were assured that the ADAPTA 200 could handle our products and during the preparatory stages of the FAT (Factory Acceptance Test; FAT is one of the qualification phases in the course of GMP qualification), together we were able to test the products of the machine and implement the ideal settings to guarantee optimum results.
<h5>Collaboration with IMA Active dates back to 1990, with acquisition of the first ZANASI capsule filler. Can you retrace the milestones of this partnership?</h5>
That’s right. 1990 marked the first purchase of a ZANASI capsule filler, the ZANASI 40 for commercial purposes. We then bought an additional ZANASI 5 and in 2021 acquired a ZANASI 12 which was devoted to batch development activities at our pilot plant, which was established as an in-house development facility between 2009 and 2010. Most of the products have been developed using the ZANASI equipment and subsequently tested and successfully manufactured on ADAPTA using the same filling principle. This eloquently reflects our many years of in-depth know-how in the field of development through to commercial production at the Regensburg site, especially for highly potent active ingredients such as those used against cancer.
<h5>Now that the new ADAPTA 200 is on site in Regensburg, tell us which of its features you appreciate most?</h5>
Firstly, let me say that in keeping with the Aenova Group’s policy to adopt cutting-edge technologies, the choice landed easily with ADAPTA 200. We immediately recognised the value of a high-speed solution enabling full scalability and large production capacity. The compact footprint has allowed us to free up enough space to include further potential filling requirements, which fits perfectly with our objective for increased capsule filling capacity.
More specifically, we are extremely satisfied with the real speeds reached. An output of 200,000 capsules/hour is exactly what we needed and ADAPTA 200 consistently achieves these figures. Let me say that many times the declared speed is not the real speed, but in this case there is no difference.
Another aspect which has impressed us is the 100% in-process weight checking capability. Real time monitoring and measuring of capsule weight is handled by the system directly connected to the machine, giving us the peace of mind that key parameters are respected. Last but not least, despite the space-efficient size of ADAPTA, and even with different dose combinations, the high production speeds are maintained. Finally, it is equally important for us to underline the broader benefits we enjoy from a product landscape that IMA has installed at our Regensburg site. The ZANASI machines – in particular the 12 E and the AZ 5 – are perfectly sized either for small batches or for product development activities. Together with the larger ZANASI capsule filler and the latest-generation ADAPTA 200, we are well-placed today to deliver the most flexible response to all our customers. And in today’s market, that is vital.

Aenova Christmas campaign: employees donate to social organisations

16/12/2022 - Aenova Christmas campaign:  employees donate to social organizations

Starnberg, 16/12/2022

Aenova employees collected donations in kind and money for social institutions in Starnberg at the beginning of December 2022. These donations will be used to support two organizations that help disadvantaged people.
The year 2022 is and was a challenging year worldwide. The Corona pandemic was followed by the Ukraine war. Energy supply, price increases and inflation have since affected many people and organizations, including in Germany. Disadvantaged and socially weaker people are particularly affected.Therefore, Aenova, a leading global contract developer and manufacturer for the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries, organized two donation initiatives as a Christmas campaign. At Aenova's headquarters in Starnberg, employees collected donations in kind and a sum of money for two local social institutions: Winter clothing and shoes for children and adults, toys, tableware and household goods. Both institutions are very grateful for the spontaneous donations, especially now in the cold season and with partly declining donations in recent months. "We are pleased that we can support people in need and the socially disadvantaged with our joint contributions. A big thank you to our employees who made these joint campaigns possible," explains Dr. Susanne Knabe, Head of Corporate Communication at Aenova. "In the coming year, we plan to expand these initiatives." As part of its corporate social responsibility strategy, the company, with its 16 sites worldwide, is primarily involved in the local environment and supports charitable initiatives at the individual company locations. There are social institutions that prefer to work in silence and do not want to be named. A separate information will follow on the presentation of the check for the cash donation.
