Exclusive vs. Generic APIs: Tailored strategies for each model

We deliver commercial‑scale Peptide APIs under two fundamentally different business models. Each model serves your needs, and our organization is structured to excel in both.

Exclusive Single‑Customer APIs (NCEs): Tailored partnerships for innovative, proprietary molecules

These projects involve new chemical entities (NCEs) that are protected by intellectual property and developed for a single pharmaceutical partner. Bachem acts as a long‑term strategic manufacturer, supporting the molecule from early development through global commercial supply.

Key characteristics

Exclusive supply relationship with one customer
Highly customized processes developed specifically for the molecule
Close scientific collaboration and integrated project teams
Flexible scaling from clinical to commercial volumes
Extensive CMC and regulatory support throughout the lifecycle
High confidentiality and IP protection
Continuous process optimization to support long‑term commercial success
Cost‑competitive manufacturing for exclusive and generic APIs

This model is ideal for innovators bringing first‑in‑class or best‑in‑class therapies to market.

Generic / Multi‑customer APIs: High‑quality, cost‑efficient APIs for competitive global markets

Generic APIs are produced for multiple customers once patents have expired. Bachem provides robust, validated, and regulatory‑ready APIs that enable fast market entry and reliable long‑term supply.

Key characteristics

Non‑exclusive supply to many customers worldwide
Established, validated manufacturing processes
Comprehensive regulatory documentation (DMFs, CEPs, global filings)
Large‑scale, cost‑efficient production
Consistent quality and batch‑to‑batch reliability
Secure supply chain, including in‑house production of key starting materials
Rapid onboarding for new customers

This model supports companies competing in global generic markets where reliability, quality, and cost efficiency are critical.
