Yposkesi Breaks Ground for Second Plant
Seoul, June 14, 2021 (Yonhap)
Yposkesi has begun the construction of its second drugmaking plant in France to ramp up its manufacturing capacity. In March, SK Inc. acquired a 70 percent stake in Yposkesi, a France-based Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization (CDMO) specializing in cell and gene therapies, to expand its presence in the burgeoning biologic CMO market.
Yposkesi is investing $71 million to double its production space in its existing facility near Paris to 10,000 square meters, which would become one of the largest advance therapy medicinal products facilities in Europe.
The second plant is scheduled to come online in 2023 after receiving approval from drug safety regulators in Europe and the United States, to better meet rising manufacturing demand from its clients.
