Pharma third-party manufacturing is a process in which a pharmaceutical company outsources the production of certain drug products to an external organization. This external organization is known as a third-party manufacturer. The third-party manufacturer is responsible for all aspects of the production process, including the procurement of raw materials, manufacturing, packaging, and quality control. The third-party manufacturer is responsible for ensuring that the drug product meets all regulatory requirements. This type of arrangement is often beneficial for both parties, as it allows the pharmaceutical company to focus on its core competencies, while the third-party manufacturer is able to benefit from economies of scale.
