What is the difference between a manufacturer and a CDMO?

A manufacturer primarily produces its own drug substance, drug product, or device for its own pipeline or commercial supply. A CDMO (Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization) takes external programs from other companies — process transfer, scale-up, contract production. Some companies operate as both: manufacturing their own pipeline AND offering excess capacity to external clients.

Which European countries have the most manufacturing capacity?

Germany leads by industrial depth (Boehringer Ingelheim, Bayer, BioNTech production, Merck KGaA). Switzerland concentrates premium-tier sites (Roche, Novartis manufacturing). Denmark anchors aseptic/biologics scale (Novo Nordisk). Sweden adds AstraZeneca's Gothenburg base. Poland is competitive on cost (Polpharma, Adamed). Lithuania and Estonia have growing biologics manufacturing (Northway, Icosagen).

What certifications should a biotech manufacturer hold?

For drugs and biologics: GMP (essential, country-specific national authority enforces in EU). For medical devices: ISO 13485 + CE marking under MDR/IVDR. For US-bound supply: FDA inspection. For nonclinical studies: GLP. Use the /compliance pages on this directory to filter by specific markers — every published company has its certification context documented and source-backed.
