Company Profile

Lonza
— A contract manufacturer with no medicines of its own that can handle the antibody, linker, conjugation, and fill-finish steps of an ADC

The company is headquartered in Basel, Switzerland.Contract manufacturing company of pharmaceutical products (CDMO)Comment We do not develop and sell new drugs in our own company.Develop and make insteadand earn sales. The company is important from the viewpoint of drug discovery and DDS.Antibody Drug Complex (ADC)to the filling of antibodies, drug linkers (payload linkers), binding processes, and injectionsConnect with your own networkand low-dissolvable drugs that are difficult to dissolve in water.Spray dryingMore facilities In March 2026, we had capsules for oral peptides.Sale of Capsule and Health Materials Business (CHI)I agreed to the company and chose to become a specialized contract development company. This article is not a topic of cell culture,Resources for ADC, low-molecular primary drugs, and preparation, and the future.Squeeze and organize.

1 point to press

Businesses related to drug discovery and DDS are largePharmaceutical Company / Biotech / Contract Development Manufacturing (Research)3 types. zaContract development manufacturingdo not have your drug approval or clinical trial FactsThe company’s annual report includes the production of antibodies (animal cell culture), drug linkers (low-molecular and high pharmacological activity), conjugations (conjugations), and injections for ADC’s business.Provided as a combination of our technology baseand write the bases for which antibodies are responsible for each of them (such as Visp in Switzerland, Vaville in the United States, and the drug linker is shown in the figure of Visp, Oss in the Netherlands, Nansha in China, Visp and Oss, and Stein in Switzerland).In other words, the strength of the company is its ability to connect ADC’s ‘parts with many parts’ processes without interruption.Home This is a point that is definitively different from pharmaceutical companies with their own drugs and biotech that competes with one technology.

3. Where is this company in the world of drug discovery and DDS?

3 types of companies involved in drug discovery and DDS In the same "pharmacy company", it is completely different where the drug is made Pharmaceutical Company Drug discovery biotech Research and development From search to approval and sales Create candidates with new modalities and methods Contract development and manufacturing of other drugs Eli Lilly/Novo Nordisk Pfizer Alnylam/Arvinas Moderna/Insilico Lonza/Samsung Biologics AppTec Secondary clinical and sales network funding Specific technical base depth Mass production capability for equipment and regulation Sales can be reduced rapidly due to the lack of patents Rely on partnering with funds for late development Disco・ation of customer development and impact of policy The company develops and manufactures ADC and low-origins drugs from other companies. In March 2026, we agreed to sell capsule business, and became a contracted company by freeing the face of a chemical material manufacturer.
Figure 1 Three types of companies involved in drug discovery and DDS, and the position of the company. The classification is based on this article, and the company name is an example from the company handled by this series. The calculation of this paperHome The policy that Lonza is devoted to contract development and manufacturing without its own pharmaceuticals is based on the 2025 Annual Report and the official release of March 6, 2026.

TypeCDMOComment Modernity is widely used and annual report divides business into three "business platforms" Facts。

Business PlatformTechnology PlatformRelationship with Drug and DDS
Integrated BiologicsAntibodies by animal cells (Mammalian), preparation and filling of injections (Drug Product)ADC’s “antibody” and “filling final formulation”
Advanced SynthesisSmall Molecules, BioconjugatesThisHome Drug linker binding process of ADC, high pharmacological active agent, solubility improvement by spray drying
Specialized ModalitiesCell and gene therapy, microbial expression, mRNA, BioscienceManufacture of mRNA and lipid nanoparticles (LNP)

As explained in the technical commentary "CDMO" and "Antibody Drugs and ADC", ADC is chemically linked to components that differ from the nature of the antibody, linker, and drug (payload). Each product requires separate manufacturing technology and enclosed equipment. The company is clearly positioned among contracted companies in terms of making almost all of its parts in-house.

Research and development costs 169 million CHFTotal R&D Totalnot limited to ADC or low s. The annual report indicates that the R&D cost is smaller because part of this amount is absorbed into the "R&D product and service sales cost". FactsHome The research and development cost of a contracted company is completely different from the "Research and Development Cost of New Drugs" of a pharmaceutical company, so please do not compare it with the smallest amount. In addition, the annual report includes numbers such as the contract market size of the bioconjugate (e.g. US$21.8 billion in 2025 and 15% annual rate), For the reasoning of the research company (Roots Analysis etc.)This article does not work。

Material Technician Perspectives: Why ADCs Will Be Winning Enclosed Equipment

ADC’s drug (payload) is on antibodyWork only near cancer cellsIt is a very toxic low that assumes that. For this reason, all of the factories that synthesize the drug linker, factories that bind to antibody, and factories that pack the liquid after the binding into a jar, so that workers do not touch even a small amount.High sealing equipmentRequired FactsHome The annual report explains that “special handling and enclosement” is necessary for the production of high pharmacological active compounds, and “advanced en ment technology for safe manufacturing of high pharmacologically active biologics”. From the material side, hereIsolator airtight materials, easy-to-clean liquid components, resin and gasket bearing solventssuch as the speed of the process, The speed of the equipment is determined by the specification of the facility.

Material Technician Perspective: ADC linker and spray drying solvent

Zaza’s ADC technology page explains GlycoConnect as a method that “does not alter the array of antibodies, modulates the sugar chain of antibodies and binds the site specifically.” HydraSpace is positioned as a hydrophilic spacer that enhances the solubility and stability of ADC. FactsHome Many ADC drugs have high hydrophobic properties, making it easier to coagulate more than one antibody. Applying the bonding position (uniformity) and inserting the water-based part into the linker (hydrophilic)It is a material design for making ADC, both of which are "which is hard to break even if many drugs are put".

On the other hand, the announcement of the Bend spray drying plant in addition to the equipmentEquipment handling and storage equipmentIt is written that the technology of emission suppression is attached FactsHome Spray drying dispersion is a method to dissolve medicines and polymers into organic solvents and dry them 。ttlely and 。 them into high s without crystallizing the drug. In order to determine the stability of the product, which polymer is selected and how far the solvent is removed,Polymer recipients and solvent recoveryis the center of this facility. What polymers and solvents are not written in the primary information of Zaza, and this is a general explanation of this article.

11. Risks that this company has

Risks
Dependency on large customersIn 2025, the largest customer accounts for 11.7% of sales (Advanced Syn and Integrated Biologics) and 10.8% of secondFacts
Negative elongation of the lower stageThe company itself writes that the growth rate is slow due to the high level of the previous year, and the margin is normalized.Facts
Completion of CHI SaleApproval of regulatory authorities and completion of legal separation of CHI conditions. Expected late 2026Facts
2025 is mainly US dollar cheap, sales and EB EBITDA about 2.5 points backwindFacts
ADC equipment utilization rateIn 2026 to 2030, combined, drug linker, and filling equipment are gradually rising. If the ADC is disco、ed or delayed in approval, the occupancy rate may fall below the plan
Double-sided technologyThe position to license the company's binding technology is easy to compete with another ADC development company with the same technology and another contract company
