Fu­ji­film dou­bles down on ex-Bio­gen fa­cil­i­ty with $928M in­fu­sion as biotech boom fu­els CD­MO growth

Al­most a year af­ter bag­ging a Bio­gen man­u­fac­tur­ing sub­sidiary in Den­mark for $890 mil­lion, Fu­ji­film is in­vest­ing even more — to the tune of $928 mil­lion — to ramp up its bi­o­log­ics pro­duc­tion ca­pac­i­ty there.

Fu­ji­film Diosynth, the con­tract de­vel­op­ment and man­u­fac­tur­ing arm of the Japan­ese con­glom­er­ate, has been steadi­ly stak­ing out its glob­al pres­ence in the past few years. In 2017 the fo­cus was on ex­pand­ing the mon­o­clon­al an­ti­body fa­cil­i­ties. The year af­ter it ven­tured in­to re­gen­er­a­tive med­i­cine by buy­ing up two com­pa­nies spe­cial­iz­ing in cell cul­ture me­dia. Most re­cent­ly it opened a gene ther­a­py cen­ter in prepa­ra­tion for a new wave of treat­ments.
