The non-exclusive partnership allows Kymanox to continue forging relationships with device manufacturers, pharmaceutical and biotech companies, contract development and manufacturing organizations (CDMOs), and fill-finish providers in the industry. This collaboration is part of Kymanox’s vision of creating a dynamic network of leading life sciences organizations as “Kymanox Preferred Partners”, promoting shared learning and continuous improvement, and building a comprehensive support system across all stages of drug development and the product lifecycle. For SHL Medical, the partnership enhances its Alliance Management Program, further bolstering the company’s vertically integrated business model by facilitating customer engagement with other key players within the drug delivery ecosystem and providing customers seamless access to a full network of solutions and services. Through this strategic alliance, both companies aim to enhance their respective offerings and drive innovation in the life sciences industry.
