Ardena

Ardena is a leading Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization (CDMO) that specializes in guiding biopharmaceutical companies through the intricate process of drug discovery and development. The company provides an integrated suite of services designed to accelerate molecules from the laboratory to clinical trials and ultimately to patients. Ardena's operational philosophy is encapsulated in its 'Make, Analyse, File' model, which seamlessly combines drug substance and product manufacturing, comprehensive bioanalytical services, and expert CMC (Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls) regulatory dossier development. This integrated approach is designed to streamline the development pathway, mitigate risks, and reduce time-to-clinic for its global clientele, which ranges from emerging biotech startups to established pharmaceutical giants across Europe, the United States, and Asia.

The company's history is marked by strategic growth through the acquisition and integration of several specialized firms, including Pharmavize, Crystallics, ChemConnection, ABL, and Idifarma. This has allowed Ardena to build a robust, multi-service platform with a wide array of capabilities. Its expertise spans early-stage development, including solid-state chemistry and formulation, to late-stage and small-scale commercial manufacturing of oral solid dosage forms. Ardena is also at the forefront of nanomedicine, offering development and GMP manufacturing of lipid nanoparticles and other advanced drug delivery systems. With a network of GMP and GLP-certified facilities strategically located across Europe, including Belgium, the Netherlands, Sweden, and Spain, and a growing presence in the United States, Ardena is well-positioned to support the complex needs of the global pharmaceutical industry. The company is committed to scientific excellence, quality, and flexibility, acting as a dedicated partner to its clients in developing the next generation of therapies.
