“The ADC facility in Deeside has over 12 years’ experience in technical development services for the industry. The granting of this license marks a major milestone for Sterling, with the company now able to integrate development and clinical manufacturing services across our network to support ADC innovators in bringing new therapies to the market,” said Kevin Cook, CEO at Sterling. “Our decision to expand the business in 2021 to include ADCs was strategic, to broaden our chemistry services offering to include specialised bioconjugation capabilities and has led to a number of partnerships in this area with drug developers. Our plan is to continue investment at Deeside as customer demand for these services increases to grow the business further.”
Sterling will host an open day at the Deeside facility on 16 May, 2023, to showcase its experience, capabilities and facilities.
