Finorga

Finorga was a prominent French contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) specializing in the production of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and fine chemicals. The company was globally recognized for its advanced expertise in chiral technologies, including asymmetric synthesis and industrial-scale chromatography. Operating primarily from its facility in Mourenx, France, Finorga served the pharmaceutical industry by providing complex multi-step chemical synthesis from pilot to commercial scale. It was particularly noted for its pioneering work in Simulated Moving Bed (SMB) chromatography for the separation of enantiomers. In 2004, the company was acquired by Novasep, and following subsequent mergers, its operations are now part of the Axplora group.
