Bioprocess equipment and services for therapeutic discovery and manufacturing
Cytiva operates a hardware-and-services business across bioprocess development, manufacturing, and delivery—from upstream fermentation (ÄKTA, HyClone) through downstream purification (MabSelect, Whatman) to final drug delivery. The tech stack reveals a manufacturing-heavy org: CAD/PLM systems (Creo, SolidWorks, Windchill), industrial control (Siemens/Mitsubishi/Allen-Bradley PLC, DCS), and quality/compliance tooling (SIEM, EDR, SOAR). Active data governance adoption (Collibra, Alation) signals tighter control over manufacturing records and cGMP compliance—a recurring pain point in the challenge list.
Notable leadership hires: Supply Chain Director, Sourcing Lead, Strategic Account Director, Project Director, Program Director
