“We’re certainly seeing a very rapid change in the API/CMO world. I think if you went out with an RFP maybe two years ago and you threw this RFP out to eight vendors, you’d have eight proposals back fairly rapidly.”
“I don’t know how many of you guys have been involved in plant build outs and plant qualifications. It is not a slam dunk, especially when you’re trying to retrofit an existing site.”
“The number of people in the U.S. who have manufacturing backgrounds in small molecules is just small and diminishing rapidly because all the jobs have been offshored.”
“Good operators are worth their weight in gold.”
“I think what has to happen [in the future of API manufacturing in the U.S.] is that the industry has to know that the demand is there.”
