Overview

LYOCONTRACT is a specialized CDMO focused on the sterile manufacturing of injectable drugs, both liquid and lyophilized. Its core competency lies in aseptic vial filling and the development and optimization of freeze-drying cycles, supported by in-house analytics and packaging services. Since receiving its manufacturing license in 2012, the company has established itself as a trusted partner for pharmaceutical companies, backed by modern facilities and significant experience in sterile processing. A majority stake was acquired by Lyomark Pharma GmbH in 2017, providing strategic stability while maintaining independent operations.
