Pharma Services

Aging populations, disease prevalence, and heightened consciousness of healthy practices and prevention all contribute to a continual demand for new pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical products, requiring therapeutics companies to invest heavily in R&D.

However, the increasing cost of research, development, and manufacturing activities is leading to a demand for high quality outsourced pharmaceutical services, and subsequently driving the growth of contract service providers.

With a decades-long track record supporting pharma services companies, Ampersand brings a wealth of experience to the table as a strategic partner. Our collaborative guidance serves as an invaluable asset, positioning portfolio companies for sustained growth and prominence in highly competitive pharma services markets. In addition, Ampersand has helped these companies grow by diversifying service offerings and completing add-on acquisitions.
