Syngene concludes acquisition of biologics manufacturing facility from Emergent BioSolutions
Bengaluru: Syngene International Limited has announced the conclusion of the acquisition of its first biologics site in the USA, which was announced on March 10, 2025.
The state-of-the-art biologics facility, fitted with multiple monoclonal antibody (mAbs) manufacturing lines, was acquired by Syngene USA Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Syngene, from Emergent Manufacturing Operations Baltimore, LLC, a subsidiary of Emergent BioSolutions Inc., at a gross value of USD 36.5 million.
The new site will increase Syngene’s total single-use bioreactor capacity to 50,000L for large molecule discovery, development, and manufacturing services. Additionally, it will provide Syngene’s customers with continuity of supply from its four development and manufacturing facilities located in India and North America, offering services ranging from cell line development, process optimization and both clinical and commercial supply.
The US facility is expected to create jobs, stimulate local economic activity, and strengthen domestic biologics manufacturing capabilities, while also contributing to pharmaceutical innovation and supply chain resilience.
The upgraded Baltimore facility is strategically located near key biotech hubs in the Northeast of the US and will be available for client projects from second half of 2025.
“With one of the largest biologics R&D teams and commercial scale manufacturing capabilities in both India and the USA, we now offer a compelling and flexible solution for global pharma and biotech customers.

It will also provide clients, access to collective service capability of multiple geographic sites, scientists and experience,” Peter Bains, CEO Designate, Syngene International Ltd., had said.
