HAPILA finds high demand for its enhanced API development and supply capabilities at CPHI Frankfurt

Gera, Germany: – High-potency active ingredient specialist CDMO HAPILA GmbH made a successful return to the rebranded CPHI Frankfurt worldwide pharma industry expo during November, highlighting its abilities to fill gaps in the active ingredients supply chain.

HAPILA exhibited in collaboration with its global marketing and distribution partner Transo-Pharm Handels-GmbH at Booth D20 in Hall 11 of the Messe Frankfurt, showing its extensive portfolio of chemical synthesis development and GMP-manufacturing & analytical capabilities, for example Estriol, as well as innovative APIs such as BTZ-043 for clinical trials.

Building relationships

The HAPILA presence in Frankfurt was led by its CEO, Dr. Uwe Müller, assisted by Head of Development and Quality Control, Dr. Steffen Wittmann, along with Project Manager Dr. Richard Nohl, and QA specialist Kristin Kirmsse. The team’s strength meant HAPILA was able to simultaneously greet visitors to its dedicated stand area while also being present in other zones of the expo.

“Our relationship with CPHI extends back to 2007 and it was good to be able once again to physically attend what has become out most important single event of the year once again,” commented Dr. Müller.

“Once again this great event gave us an excellent platform to present ideal opportunities for our customers and for new interested potential partners as well as discuss the possibilities for interesting collaborations and to fathom new options,” said Dr. Müller.

Supply chain issues

The HAPILA CEO said there had been particularly strong interest in HAPILA’s CDMO capabilities at CPHI Frankfurt from a pharma industry experiencing acute supply security issues due to the effects of the COVID pandemic and a general trend towards reshoring production to Europe.

“Pharmaceutical companies of all sizes and research organizations are increasingly looking for European partners to fulfil all API-related manufacturing and to help solve technical problems – both areas in which HAPILA has well-proven capabilities,” Dr. Müller explained.

End-to-end services

“We were able to use our three days in Frankfurt and our online CPHI presence to show that HAPILA has the high flexibility and wide technical know-how needed to solve almost any API sourcing issue,” he added.

HAPILA was also able to present other advantages, such as its independence and agility, its experience in GMP-related development and manufacturing, with fully IMPD and ASMF certificated services for APIs, its in-house quality control unit, and its ability to offer end-to-end services from lab-scale to full-scale reactor processes.
