UK-based Croda International Plc has opened its new Global Technical Centre at Genome Valley, Hyderabad. The investment is part of Croda’s continuing commitment to develop high performance pharmaceutical ingredients and technologies for life sciences.

The centre will increase Croda’s capability to provide advanced and sustainable solutions to its pharmaceutical customers, and is a significant step towards establishing Croda’s presence in Telangana, a critical hub supporting India’s position as the ‘Pharmacy of the World’.

This latest expansion will focus on the development of new ingredients, generation of application data and training for small molecule and biologic applications, enabling the company to provide specialised solutions for the pharmaceutical industry.

The facility will focus on housing collaborative work with customers to help them tackle their formulation challenges during development and troubleshoot faster.  As per Croda’s global safety standards, the new facility is meticulously designed to ensure the safety of those working within it.  Croda also recently marked a new milestone by breaking ground on a new greenfield manufacturing plant at Dahej, Gujarat.
