Contract manufacturing for complex molecules in pharma, ag, and materials
CABB is a European contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) with ~1,100 employees across six production sites, generating roughly €500M in annual revenue. The company is actively hiring across manufacturing and engineering roles—particularly in quality and automation—while pursuing oligonucleotide production and life sciences expansion. The project mix (control cabinet design, analytical method development, MSR infrastructure) and pain-point focus on regulatory compliance and cost control suggest a manufacturing operation scaling toward higher-margin biotech molecules while managing operational complexity.
