PCI Pharma Services

PCI is a large, global CDMO, providing integrated end-to-end drug development, manufacturing and packaging solutions throughout the product lifecycle, that increase product speed to market and opportunities for commercial success. The company’s proven experience includes more than 90 successful product launches each year, and more five decades in the delivery of supply-chain healthcare services.

PCI (which originally stood for Packaging Coordinators, Inc) has 30 GMP facilities in the US, Europe, Canada, Australia and Asia, and 5,500 employees. It is privately owned, a majority stake having been acquired by investment firm Partners Group on behalf of its clients in 2016, from investment firm Frazier Healthcare Partners , which purchased it as the US commercial pharma packaging operations of Catalent Pharma Solutions (itself originally a private equity acquisition (by Blackstone Group) from Cardinal Health Inc). Cardinal Health originally purchased Packaging Coordinators, Inc, in 1996. PCI acquired AndersonBrecon, the consumer packaging business of AmerisourceBergen Corp in 2017, and Penn Pharmaceutical Services, a UK provider of drug development and manufacturing services, in 2018.
