European CDMO specializing in pharma manufacturing across solid, liquid, and sterile dosage forms
NextPharma is a UK-listed CDMO with 2,400 employees across eight manufacturing centers in Germany, France, Finland, Norway, and the UK. The hiring and project focus reveals a manufacturing-heavy operation scaling process validation, plant optimization, and GMP compliance infrastructure—consistent with a mid-sized contract manufacturer modernizing quality and regulatory systems. Tech stack (SAP, HPLC, SQL, GCP, AutoCAD) reflects traditional pharma manufacturing operations with emerging data collection and automation initiatives.
NextPharma manufactures pharmaceutical dosage forms—solids (tablets, capsules), non-sterile liquids (emulsions, syrups), sterile liquids (ophthalmic solutions), and semi-solids (creams, gels)—for pharmaceutical, biotech, nutraceutical, and healthcare clients. The company operates specialized containment areas for hormones, narcotics, penicillin/cephalosporin antibiotics, and highly-potent compounds, plus clinical trial manufacturing services. Founded in 1946 and publicly listed, NextPharma maintains manufacturing hubs in Berlin, Bielefeld, Göttingen, Waltrop, Limay, Ploermel, Tampere, Edinburgh, and Asker. Current organizational priorities center on plant optimization, process validation, compliance infrastructure (GMP, whistleblowing systems, structured compliance programs), and profitability improvements.
