Curia, a global contract research, development and manufacturing organization (CDMO), has completed a €5 million investment in its León, Spain operations. The project includes a new precision fermentation facility, expanded production capabilities and upgraded site utilities to support development and scale-up activities.
The new facility includes upstream processing (USP) fermentation and downstream processing (DSP) equipment designed to optimize manufacturing flows. The investment also covers the installation of critical utility systems to provide a reliable supply across production operations. Following the equipment installations, the facility’s capacity will increase to 58,000 liters.
The León site specializes in biotechnology development, fermentation production and downstream processing for customers in the pharmaceutical, cosmetics, agriculture and food industries. The expansion is intended to strengthen its manufacturing capabilities and provide additional capacity for customer programs.
