Lonza is the largest contract manufacturer for biologics, ADCs, and cell therapies, and owns the Synaffix ADC linker technology and the Cocoon cell-manufacturing platform.
Lonza, based in Basel and listed as LONN.SW, is the largest contract manufacturer for biologics, antibody-drug conjugates and cell therapies, and it owns the Synaffix ADC linker technology and the Cocoon cell-manufacturing platform. It is a Swiss CDMO with bioconjugation capacity in Visp, mammalian manufacturing worldwide including the former Genentech Vacaville site acquired in 2024, cell and gene therapy sites in Houston and Geleen, and the Cocoon closed platform. OnCo links it to ADC bioconjugation, closed automated cell-therapy manufacturing, viral vector manufacturing, sterile fill-finish and payload-linker synthesis, to Synaffix, and to the CDMO term. Whether contract manufacturing capacity, rather than science, becomes the limiting factor for ADCs and cell therapies is the question its position raises. Synaffix has its own page.
