CDMO providing drug development and manufacturing across four FDA sites globally
Hovione operates a multi-site contract development and manufacturing business for pharmaceuticals, with FDA-inspected facilities across the US, Europe, and Asia. The tech stack reflects manufacturing operations maturity—SCADA, DCS, PLC, HPLC, SAP, and Oracle Primavera dominate—paired with emerging adoption of Last Planner System and active hiring across manufacturing and engineering roles. The project pipeline (new construction, sustainability systems, compliance frameworks, bid preparation) reveals both capacity expansion and a push toward operational standardization across geographies, aligned with documented pain points around GMP compliance and inspection readiness.
Notable leadership hires: Compliance Director, Supply Chain Director, HSE Director
