Process Development

As experienced practitioners in the development, manufacture and supply of pharmaceutical intermediates and APIs, Dowpharma^SM chemists have acquired leading process development skills. Our focus is on developing a process which satisfies your initial, often time constrained, requirements, but also provides the basis for a scaleable commercial process.

Even after your drug is launched, we can use our structured continuous improvement programs, including Six Sigma, to improve all aspects of the process such as yield, cycle time, material handling, equipment usage, solvent recovery and waste stream management. This leads to a safer, more environmentally friendly and lower cost manufacturing process with direct benefit to you, our customer.
