Alcami Expands West Coast Presence with Acquisition of Pacific Pharmaceutical Services

  • Alcami Corporation, a leading contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO), has completed the acquisition of Pacific Pharmaceutical Services, Inc. (PPS).
  • The acquisition is part of Alcami’s strategy to expand its pharma storage and services business.
  • PPS founder Scott Chadwick will continue with the company in the role of General Manager and Site Head.

Alcami Corporation, the US-based contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO), announced that it has completed the acquisition of Pacific Pharmaceutical Services, Inc. (PPS), a preferred provider of cGMP pharma storage and services. This acquisition is Reno, Nevada, a strategic location that enables bicoastal geographic expansion of Alcami’s Pharma Storage and Services capabilities.

“The Pacific Pharmaceutical Services acquisition is part of our highly intentional strategy to supercharge the capabilities of our pharma storage and services business with locations that best serve biotech and pharma clients across the country,” commented Bill Humphries, CEO of Alcami. This acquisition allows Alcami to better address bicoastal market needs, improve material safe-guarding from natural disasters with multi-location facilities, and support multi-centre clinical trials.

Adding PPS to the Alcami family cements Alcami’s status as the U.S. CDMO for West Coast projects as it continues to focus on the stability and security that matters most in storage of pre-clinical and clinical materials. PPS offers key controlled storage and material management solutions as well as clinical labeling and support for most development lifecycle stages spanning from pre-clinical to early clinical trials.

PPS founder Scott Chadwick will continue with the company in the role of General Manager and Site Head. “I’m proud of the business we built, and look forward to partnering with Alcami. Combining forces enables us to offer clients even more solutions with the same agile, flexible approach that continues to make us successful,” Chadwick shared.

In addition to the acquisition of PPS, Alcami is strategically expanding its central North Carolina pharma storage and service footprint with the opening of a new 65,000-square-foot facility co-located near the Research Triangle Park’s biotech and pharma hub. This additional expansion underscores Alcami’s focus on its comprehensive pharma storage and services business.
