Indena is glad to attend CPHI Japan in Tokio 9 – 11 April 2025 and to meet its customers and stakeholders. Thanks to more than one hundred years of pharmaceutical excellence applied to medicinal plant, the Italian company, with 4 production sites and 5 international branches throughout the world  – Japan, China, USA, Brazil, France – , is an undisputed world leader in the identification, development and production of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients: pure ingredients (molecules isolated from medicinal plants), semi-synthetic (natural compounds, modified through synthesis), standardized extracts and synthetic molecules.

CDMO activities are also a priority in Indena’s strategic vision. Thanks to leading technologies, R&D and industrialization, the company now manufactures 10 commercial and 12 clinical-phase HPAPIs: fully synthetic, semi-synthetic, and fermentation molecules and payloads for ADCs, with a backward integration on fermentation for toxins requiring this step and freeze-drying ability in high containment.

Today, Indena has a multipurpose GMP plant equipped with reactor ranging from 250 Liters to 10,000 Liters (Stainless Steel, Hastelloy, Glass-lined); a kilo lab LK2 to offer different capacities for products at the highest containment level (OEL 1ng/m3 or OEB5); two spray dryers, large and a mid-size, working with organic solvents; a 20-lt hydrogenator and a 250-liter hydrogenator to satisfy a wider demand for this kind of chemistry. The next project involves the installation of a larger-scale commercial freeze-drying line in 2026. In fact, the company is continuously expanding to stay ahead of clients’ emerging needs and to provide innovative, tailored solutions for the pharmaceutical industry.

Indena is a company committed in working in the most sustainable way. A concrete case of such approach is Indena’s production of squalene, used as vaccine adjuvant, from a vegetal and sustainable supply chain – Amaranthus seeds -.

In its operations and fostering sustainable supply chains, Indena demonstrates its responsibility as a leading force within the industry, prioritizing renewable energy and reduction of CO2 emission.

All these strategic actions make Indena trustworthy in terms of business continuity strengthening the foundation for long-term solid partnership with clients, a partnership based on the strictest standards for quality, safety, and sustainability.
