How do companies use CDMOs (Contract Development and Manufacturing Organizations)? Historically, contract manufacturing was viewed as a way to reduce costs, and that remains the most important consideration. Increasingly, companies turn to Avéma because they lack internal capacity to produce their product, need to ramp up commercial production or because they don’t have the internal expertise to develop the formulation. Working with Avéma can expedite research and development, as well as bring products to market more quickly.
