Alliance partnerships

Fostering collaboration across the pharmaceutical and drug delivery value chain

Creating value through collaboration

To strengthen our capabilities for fully vertically integrated solutions, we actively build a strong partnership ecosystem across the drug-delivery value chain. We believe that maximizing value for our customers requires close connections within the broader drug delivery ecosystem, enabling us to provide informed advice, clear recommendations, and flexible options at every stage. That’s why we established our Alliance Management program, bringing together trusted partners such as primary container providers, CMOs/CDMOs, and specialized service providers to deliver integrated, end‑to‑end solutions for our customers.
