Following the successful transfer of the product’s manufacturing technology, Orion Contract Manufacturing, based in Espoo, Finland, will be responsible for the launch and ongoing supply of the product to multiple markets.

“Our versatility manufacturing and packaging expertise also mean that we can scale the formulation up to commercial production while meeting multiple market requirements,” Esa Nauska, head of Orion Contract Manufacturing, said. “We’re looking forward to what will hopefully be a long and mutually beneficial partnership with Peptonic Medical.”
