Almac Group

The Almac Group is an established contract development and manufacturing organisation that provides the most unique range of integrated drug development services available to the pharmaceutical & biotech industry.

We are a privately owned organisation that has organically grown over 50 years and now employs in excess of 5,000 high skilled personnel. Almac is headquartered in Craigavon, Northern Ireland with 17 global facilities across Europe, USA and Asia.

Our quality, innovation and efficiency are testament to the fact that over 600 companies worldwide trust Almac for their Chemical, Pharmaceutical and Clinical Development needs.

As an established provider of both drug substance (advanced intermediates and Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients – small molecules and peptides) and drug product development services, and by offering these within an integrated package, our client partners are assured of scientific continuity from a dedicated project team, resulting in significant savings in both time and costs.
