3 July 2012

Taiwan based active pharmaceutical ingredients maker ScinoPharm (TWSE: 1789) says it plans to invest NT$1.1 billion (around $37.6 million) in the construction of a high potency cytotoxic injectable plant suitable for production of oncological injectable products at the company's premises on the Tainan Science Park.

ScinoPharm say it currently has the most number of oncological APIs for the generic industry. "By expanding into the field of oncological injectable formulation, ScinoPharm will be able to provide a vertically integrated, one-stop-shop service for our existing API customers," remarked Jo Shen, president and chief executive of the company.
