Focused on developing excellence in four strategic areas—Reliability, Speed, Flexibility, and Quality
WHO WE ARE
American Regent is an industry leading injectable manufacturer. Our growing business is comprised of mostly generic and branded injectables, as well as leading branded IV iron therapies.
For over 50 years, we've set a higher standard for responsiveness and reliability as a US-based manufacturing company with a short supply chain. Every day we are applying our innovative thinking to respond to customer needs by developing and delivering complex, hard-to-manufacture injectables and drug shortage products.
RELIABILITY
Our acquisition of Pharmaforce, Inc. over ten years ago was the first step toward ensuring a consistent, reliable supply of products. Today, between all three of our US manufacturing sites, we have the capability to manufacture over 70 million units annually.
We continue to invest in the expansion and modernization of our US-based manufacturing facilities. These enhancements will allow us to significantly increase output, while creating redundancies across our three manufacturing sites. This will ensure that we continue to deliver high value for our customers by providing a more reliable, uninterrupted supply of products.
SPEED
Developing excellence in speed is a critical focus for American Regent, because we believe patients should never have to wait for the medications they need.
Since we are a US-based manufacturer, we are uniquely positioned to mobilize resources or change production scheduling, so that we can quickly respond to help mitigate shortages, or meet changes in market needs. Our short supply chain allows us to ensure critical medications reach patients quickly.
FLEXIBILITY
Just like speed, the ability to be flexible is critical in the generic injectables market. With demand being so variable, the long lead time of an offshore supply chain makes reacting quickly much more difficult, if not impossible.
American Regent, with its US-based manufacturing and short delivery timelines, has flexibility in production scheduling—ensuring rapid responses to changes in market demand.
QUALITY
When it comes to quality, our organization focuses on prevention rather than remediation. We are investing in highly automated manufacturing lines that limit or eliminate human interaction in our sterile filling areas. Finally, our manufacturing facilities are operated by highly trained US labor, using systems that have evolved and been perfected over the last 50 years.
