Investment Thesis
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a fully equipped, cGMP-compliant pharmaceutical and cosmetic formulation laboratory in the heart of the Pennsylvania life sciences corridor. Established in 2018, this facility offers a "plug-and-play" solution for a biotech startup, a CRO looking to expand, or a cosmetic manufacturer seeking high-end R&D capabilities.
With a proven track record in ANDA product development and FDA registration, the laboratory is outfitted with over $5M worth of specialized equipment and instrumentation. By acquiring this turnkey asset package, a buyer eliminates the 12–18 month lead time typically required for facility build-out, equipment sourcing, and validation.
