Next-generation rapid transfer systems for the biopharmaceutical industry

摘要

ABC Transfer, an industrial designer and manufacturer of secure rapid transfer systems (RTS) for the biopharmaceutical industry, recently announced that it had raised €3 million in a series A financing round. Go Capital, an investment fund management company and representative of the Loire Valley Invest Fund, led the round, with Bpifrance, the French national bank and the regional government of Centre-Val de Loire contributing grants and loans. The success of this first tranche of funding reflects investor confidence in ABC Transfer's business model and leadership team, as well as strong interest in the market opportunities that its aseptic transfer systems will be addressing. Growth of the pharmaceutical industry and the rise in research and development are likely to drive demand for aseptic filling, thus boosting the global aseptic transfer system market. The drug manufacturing shift to smaller and more flexible production lines is expected to impact growth for these systems.
