AGC Biologics Expands Manufacturing Capacity in Copenhagen and Seattle
What happened
AGC Biologics expanded its long-term manufacturing agreement at its Copenhagen site, adding a second supply node. The expansion, which builds on the existing agreement anchored at Yokohama, increases the deal's total value beyond €0.5 billion. The new agreement covers multi-product drug substance manufacturing across six biologics programs at the Copenhagen facility.

Why it matters
The expansion allows products to launch and move across facilities using dual regulatory submissions. This strategy is designed to optimize capacity, reduce costs, and create a more resilient global supply chain compared to using a single site.
