Samsung Biologics, a leading global contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO), has announced manufacturing contracts worth $668 million with an undisclosed Europe-based pharmaceutical company.

Running through December 2031, these agreements bolster Samsung Biologics’ position as a critical player in global biopharma manufacturing.
