The Rise in Outsourcing Relationships

Contract manufacturing has become a popular option for many life sciences and material science sectors to meet the dynamic demands of manufacturing projects. Thus, contract manufacturing and contract development industries continue to grow.

Toll/contract manufacturing is a key service that Robinson Brothers has been providing for over 100 years. The organisation holds a portfolio of chemistries that can be applied to different processes in order to develop new chemical entities or outsource a reaction process.

Outsourcing manufacturing is an ideal method of accessing technical expertise with collaborative technology exchange and effective communication. It also allows companies to respond in a flexible manner to manufacturing needs – a new project may require small-scale manufacturing, or, a specialised technology.

Robinson Brothers’ manufacturing site, based in West Midlands UK, has the ability to seamlessly scale processes and products as necessary. Whether this is laboratory grams to kilograms in Kilo-Laboratory and/or Pilot Plant facilities, and thence in a Production Operations Plant to multi-tonne quantities.

In the case of manufacturing according to customers provided IP, Robinson Brothers can offer strong corporate policies on Intellectual Property (IP) protection, ensuring that projects are handled in the strictest of confidence at all times.
