“Too small, not worth the effort.” This was the standard response our customer got after quoting countless contract manufacturers for the production of their very niche, yet very important drug – an antidote to a rare but deadly intoxication.

Not a blockbuster medication, nothing that would sell millions of units. In fact, demand was so low that only a few thousand vials were needed every other year. But for the people who rely on it, this drug is the difference between life and death.

But most CMOs cannot even break even setting up their ERP systems, handle the raw materials, and run a production line for batches this small – let alone make a profit.

Then our customer caught a break, when they came across BAG and a service especially designed for tasks like this. No matter how small, no matter how sensitive, no matter how complicated, we have streamlined this to perfection. Whether it’s one batch every three years or the occasional supply of clinical trial materials.

Long story short: Today, the product in question is still available, ready for anyone who will hopefully never need it, yet will be ever so grateful it is, when they do.

Because small batches matter!
