SAN DIEGO, September 5, 2024 (Newswire.com) – Tanvex BioPharma (“Tanvex” or the “Company”), a contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) for biologics and a biosimilars products company, recently announced that the Board of Directors approved the acquisition of Bora Biologics Co., Ltd. (“Bora Biologics”), a CDMO subsidiary of Bora Pharmaceuticals (“Bora”). This strategic alliance will bring together Bora’s extensive CDMO capabilities and client-centric culture with Tanvex’s development expertise, scalable operations, and U.S. FDA-licensed commercial capacity facility in San Diego, California. Upon completion, Bobby Sheng, Chairman and CEO of the Bora Group, will be appointed Chairman of the merged organization. The transaction is expected to conclude in Q1 of 2025.

Bora Pharmaceuticals is a leading global CDMO with 10 state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities around the world. Bora will closely collaborate with Tanvex to leverage its global CDMO operations and capabilities to provide comprehensive solutions to biologics customers, including Bora’s new fill-and-finish capabilities in Camden, Maryland. Tanvex has created strong biologics development and manufacturing operations and brings over 100,000 square feet of biomanufacturing space and 1,000-liter bioreactors, which complement Bora’s 500-liter bioreactors to provide a highly scalable service offering. Combined, these capabilities offer a more robust development and manufacturing platform to global biologics customers.

Henry Chen, Chairman and CEO of Tanvex, stated, “Tanvex has been dedicated to the development and manufacturing of biologics since its inception and now offers an integrated suite of services from early-stage non-GMP pre-clinical development to commercial-stage CGMP manufacturing. This strategic investment by Bora presents an optimal opportunity to combine our strengths with Bora’s proven success in building a global CDMO platform characterized by exceptional quality, excellent manufacturing track record and strong customer relationships.”

“This strategic investment focuses on both parties’ shared vision for the biologics CDMO business,” added Bobby Sheng, Chairman and CEO of the Bora Group. “It combines Bora’s strong reputation, industry-leading quality and global operational resources with Tanvex’s established USFDA-approved commercial-scale biologics facility and biosimilar expertise in San Diego. This partnership will enable the combined entity to rapidly respond to evolving industry demands and policy developments, such as the U.S. BIOSECURE Act, and capitalize on new opportunities in onshoring, friendshoring, and the growing CDMO demands driven by these policy changes.”
