An integrated CDMO — not simply a contract manufacturer.
The difference is where the science sits. With Lewens, process chemistry, analytical development and manufacturing belong to the same team — so a programme keeps its integrity from first route to commercial batch.
How a partnership begins.
A deliberately simple, confidential path from first contact to supply.
Enquiry & NDA
You share the molecule, stage and objective. We put confidentiality in place before anything technical is exchanged.
Feasibility & proposal
Our chemists assess routes, risks and analytics, then return a clear technical and commercial proposal.
Development & transfer
Process and analytical development, scale-up and technology transfer — with progress visible throughout.
Commercial supply
Validated, GMP commercial manufacturing and dependable ongoing supply as your programme grows.
Structured around your programme.
Develop & transfer
Bring a molecule or route; we develop the process and analytics and transfer it — to your site or ours.
End-to-end CDMO
We carry the programme from development through scale-up, technology transfer and commercial manufacturing.
Custom synthesis & exclusive supply
Differentiated processes and strategic or exclusive supply arrangements, built to your commercial needs.
What partners get that a broker can't offer.
- Science ownership. The people who develop your route are inside the company that will make it
- Complex-molecule focus. A deliberate bias toward difficult chemistry, not commodity volume
- Speed. Agile decisions and shorter development cycles from route to plant
- Confidentiality. Programmes run under NDA, disclosed only where permitted
CDMO FAQs.
At what stage can I engage Lewens as a CDMO?
Does Lewens offer custom synthesis?
How is confidentiality handled?
Some of our best work never appears on this site.
A significant share of what we do runs under NDA. If your molecule isn't listed, that's precisely the conversation to have.
