Contract research and manufacturing for animal health and nutrition products
Argenta operates a global CRO and CDMO focused exclusively on animal health and nutrition, with complementary human nutrition capabilities. The tech stack is production-centric (SAP, MES, SCADA, PLC, HMI) rather than product-led, reflecting their core business model: managing manufacturing facilities and clinical trials across multiple geographies. Hiring is heavily weighted toward manufacturing and research roles, with active pain points around production scheduling, equipment downtime, and on-time delivery—indicating operations-driven challenges typical of scaled contract manufacturing.
Argenta provides end-to-end contract research and manufacturing services for animal health, animal nutrition, and human nutrition products. Founded in 2006 and based in Auckland, the company operates research centers in Spain, Germany, and the US, alongside GMP manufacturing facilities in New Zealand, the US, and the UK. Their service portfolio spans R&D, pre-clinical and clinical research, regulatory consultancy, and full product development from concept to market launch. The organization employs approximately 950 experts across science, veterinary, engineering, and regulatory functions, serving pharmaceutical, feed additive, and novel food companies globally.
