WuXi Biologics acquired this biologic drug plant in Germany from Bayer last year.

WuXi Biologics is expanding its capacity with two acquisitions. The biologic drug contract manufacturer will buy Pfizer’s plant in Hangzhou, China, which features two 2,000 L single-use bioreactors plus finished-drug capabilities. And WuXi will purchase most of CMAB Biopharma, a contract biologics firm in Suzhou, China, with 7,000 L of bioreactor capacity plus the facilities for producing finished drugs.
