Cambrex Corporation has won the ‘API Development’ category at the annual CPHI Pharma Awards, which took place at a Gala Dinner at CPHI Worldwide in Barcelona on 4 October.

“This award is a great recognition of the experience and technical expertise of our team, not only in terms of innovation, but also in recognition of our ability to turn innovative ideas into a commercialized process” commented Jonathan Knight, Vice President, New Product Development. He added: “We would like to thank our industry peers and editors who make up the judging panel for acknowledging the innovative approach that we employed when faced with certain production issues.”
