Laurus Labs has built the world&#8217;s largest ARV API manufacturing capacity \u2014 supplying to generic pharmaceutical companies (Mylan, Cipla, Aurobindo) who manufacture finished ARV tablets for distribution through PEPFAR, Global Fund, and national HIV programmes in Africa and developing countries. ARV API production requires complex multi-step organic synthesis with extreme quality standards for HIV treatment medicines \u2014 a capability that Laurus has built over 20 years.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_difference_between_API_manufacturing_and_CDMO_services\"><\/span><strong>What is the difference between API manufacturing and CDMO services?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> API (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient) manufacturing is producing commodity bulk drug substances for generic pharmaceutical companies \u2014 a price-competitive market where multiple manufacturers compete on price. CDMO (Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization) services provide bespoke drug substance development and manufacturing to innovative pharmaceutical companies \u2014 where the CDMO works exclusively with the innovator on confidential proprietary drug molecules, following proprietary synthesis routes, and supplying to the innovator&#8217;s specifications. CDMO relationships are typically 10 to 15 year exclusive contracts with 3 to 10x higher margins per kilogram than commodity API
