WuXi Biologics Completes Topping Out of Singapore Drug Product Facility

08 June 2026 | Monday | News


New Tuas based facility will add capacity for up to 100 million pre filled syringes and vials annually, strengthening global dual sourcing capabilities and expanding Singapore's role in biopharmaceutical manufacturing.

WuXi Biologics (2269.HK), a leading global Contract Research, Development and Manufacturing Organization (CRDMO), announced that it has completed the topping out of the Drug Product (DP) facility at its Singapore CRDMO Hub (Hub). Once operational, the facility will be the Company's key DP facility designed to meet the latest and most stringent requirements for international markets, with expected output of approximately 100 million units of pre-filled syringes and vials per year.

Located on a 13.5-hectare site in Tuas Biomedical Park, the Hub will be the first of its kind in Singapore, built on WuXi Biologics' proprietary technology platforms and industry-leading capabilities to offer dual sourcing solutions for biopharmaceutical companies worldwide. The Hub will add 120,000 liters of manufacturing capacity to the Company's global network, reinforcing Singapore's position as a leading biopharmaceutical hub. On this site, WuXi Biologics' subsidiary WuXi XDC achieved mechanical completion of its Singapore ADC production site in 2025.

Spanning approximately 30,000 square meters, the modular DP facility will feature advanced manufacturing lines, centralized Quality Control (QC) labs for full release and stability testing, and Manufacturing Science and Technology (MSAT) labs, significantly expanding the Company's end-to-end DP capabilities. With three pre-filled syringe (PFS) lines and two vial lines for liquid and lyophilized products, it will deliver integrated DP manufacturing for multiple dosage forms across clinical and commercial stages. The facility will also incorporate green technologies, including solar panels and an advanced system for energy monitoring and analysis, reflecting WuXi Biologics' commitment to sustainability. Operations are expected to commence in 2027.

Dr. Chris Chen, CEO of WuXi Biologics, said, "We are excited to celebrate another major milestone for our Singapore CRDMO hub. This achievement further reinforces our ability to provide global biopharmaceutical companies with a resilient and geographically diversified supply chain, one built on our world-class quality systems, cutting-edge innovation, and operational excellence. At the same time, we are dedicated to contributing to the local community in Singapore and the long-term development of its biopharmaceutical industry."

Construction across the Singapore CRDMO hub continues to advance, with the drug substance facility currently in the design phase. The Hub marks a significant step in WuXi Biologics' global extension and its long-term commitment as the partner of choice for global biopharmaceutical companies.

WuXi Biologics' global manufacturing footprint spans China, the United States, Ireland, Germany, and Singapore, with 24 drug substance (DS) facilities and 18 drug product (DP) facilities currently in operation. This network provides integrated dual-sourcing solutions spanning DS and DP, from clinical development through commercial-scale manufacturing. As of 2025, WuXi Biologics had successfully passed 46 regulatory inspections worldwide, including 22 conducted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA), achieving a 100% success rate with no critical findings and no data integrity issues.
