Through chemical synthesis, microbial biomanufacturing or a semi-synthesis approach, we offer, under GMP, dedicated solutions for the development and manufacturing of NCEs, advanced Intermediates, building blocks, enzymes & proteins, peptides of rDNA origin, high potency drugs, controlled substances and food bio manufacturing.
Olon is enabler of:
- Capabilities
- Sustainability
- Reliability
- Expertise
We guarantee customer support from the R&D lab up to full-scale commercial manufacturing and strong regulatory support. Our experience and global footprint allow us to follow the entire process in house, with a single point of contact for the customer and complete accountability.
Along the process of technology transfer and product development, our Partners are fully supported by a dedicated team applying the guidelines of the project management approach. The appointed team is accountable for planning and tracking activities, resolving conflicts of resources, solving critical issues, and communicating news and updates; while the technical team, which provides regular updates on the project status (Reports - TCs), communicates directly with the customer for technical topics, and supports the regulatory strategy.

Olon Biotech
Olon is a global partner of CDMO services in the field of microbial fermentation.
We are an industry leader in applied biotechnology to industrialization and commercialization, able to manage the strong complexity implied in the tech transfer and in the scale-up of the biotech process.
Endorsed by a strong experience in developing the production process from pilot to commercial scale, our experience in fermentation embraces managing a broad range of microorganisms such as bacteria, yeast, and fungi. We offer strong expertise from small molecules to large molecules – peptides, enzymes, proteins and rely on a highly skilled team of operators.
Olon expertise gained over more than 50 years, represents one of the most extensive know-how of microbial fermentation in Europe.
We have two Biotech Centers, based in Settimo Torinese and Capua (Italy) that represent centers of excellence in the microbial fermentation field, meeting the highest global quality standard. Our Biotech Centers are multipurpose and able to manage the highest complexity; they are endowed with unique flexibility and diverse capabilities thanks to the competencies gained by applying different manufacturing processes for different products and reach a total fermentation capacity of 4.900 m3.
Olon is also developing one of the market’s most innovative technological platforms, capable of offering high-quality peptides.
We are one of the few companies able to integrate expertise in the two areas of chemistry and biotechnology, in both of which we have extensive experience, to offer seamless platforms combining two processes meeting the needs of our Partner.
Advanced High Containment
Thanks to recent investments in its integrated manufacturing network, today Olon offers the capacity to develop and produce highly potent APIs, from very small to large scale, along the entire development chain.
This is because Olon relies on all types of reactors regardless of required size, as well as its experience in managing high containment production processes which is among the most extensive worldwide.
We have completed the new extremely high containment production line, OEB5, with reactors that allow us to produce highly potent APIs in large-scale product batches ranging from 30 to 150 kg. This expansion enables us to serve the customer along all the stages of the scale up, in conjunction with our sites.
Today we are one of the few CDMO companies to offer the range of specific integrated capabilities necessary to support the customer from the first clinical phase up to industrialization, regardless of the quantity of product needed and batch size required and regardless of the ongoing molecule development phase. From a few grams to hundreds of kilograms.
The expertise in high containment processes is evident from the equipment we have at our disposal, but even more so from the in-house know-how that we have developed in recent decades, among the most extensive in the global API manufacturing market.
