The company deploys a CDMO/Custom Design & Manufacturing model to partner with customers seeking bespoke formulations, scalable manufacturing, and accelerated development of next-generation TDDS products. Aquiva Group emphasizes material science innovations to expand beyond traditional delivery routes into broader healthcare markets, including wound care, dermatology, and cosmeceutical segments. The firm operates through collaborations and partnerships to integrate its HiPNA-enabled platforms into partner brands and clinical programs, aiming to accelerate adoption of advanced transdermal and topical therapies.
