AmbioPharm Facilities and Offices
210 employees staff the USA based facility
where a huge expansion project was
completed and qualified in May 2020. In
addition to the current 26,000 square foot
facility, two additional freestanding
buildings total an additional 56,000 square
feet of manufacturing space. The new
buildings include suites to increase our
capacity for purification, formulation, and
final product development in the U.S.
In Shanghai, China, 350 chemists are
doing all of the synthetic chemistry that’s
driving our business. An impressive state-
of-the-art campus in Shanghai is currently
under construction and will more than
double our synthetic capacity. Our newest
commercial building has four additional
large-scale manufacturing lines.

AmbioPharm Shanghai HQ Expansion
• The Shanghai facility is an entirely
new campus dedicated to commercial
peptide manufacturing. Four
buildings are currently under
construction and will add more than
35,000 sq. meters to our facilities.
• The Administration-R&D building
construction was completed at the
end of 2020.
• Production buildings 2 and 3 are
under construction.
• Included in the new Shanghai facility
is a waste recycling and recovery
unit to improve our green
footprint allowing us to recover both
MTBE and DMF from synthesis and
MeCN from purification.
• Building 4 is under construction.

AmbioPharm Advantage
Shanghai AmbioPharm started moving to the new manufacturing campus at the of 2020. We would synthesize your future peptide at our new Shanghai manufacturing campus.
We can perform downstream purification at our Shanghai Building No. 13 or our North Augusta, SC site.
AmbioPharm’s team has a 14-year history developing feasible & scalable peptide processes to commercial scale >100kg/year.
We have rich experience in developing crystallization and precipitation process for peptide APIs.
In addition to our 1,000 L lyophilization capacity, we are working to install spray drying equipment to achieve even larger-scale batch isolation.
