- Bachem Holding AG Bachem Holding AG is a leading innovation-driven contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) specializing in the development and manufacture of peptides and oligonucleotides for pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies worldwide. Founded in 1971 and headquartered in Bubendorf, Switzerland, the company provides a comprehensive portfolio of products and services, including catalog peptides, amino acid derivatives and biochemicals for research purposes; custom peptide synthesis and oligonucleotides for clinical development; generic active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and commercial-scale GMP manufacturing of new chemical entities (NCEs); as well as services such as CMC development, project management and process optimization under the Bachem and Clinalfa brands. Bachem operates internationally through manufacturing sites in Bubendorf and Vionnaz (Switzerland), Torrance and Vista (USA), St. Helens (UK), and sales offices in Europe, North America and Asia, serving research, diagnostic, cosmetic and therapeutic markets across these regions. Recent developments include securing a CHF 1 billion peptide supply contract spanning 2025-2029 with a major client, enabling capacity expansions at existing sites including a large-scale facility in Bubendorf and high-volume production in Vista; planning a new manufacturing site in Eiken, Switzerland, with construction applications in 2025; reporting strong first-half 2025 sales growth prompting an upward revision of full-year guidance to 13-18% in local currencies; and ongoing investments in its global network to support oligonucleotide and peptide production amid rising demand.
