Saltigo

Saltigo is a German contract development and manufacturing organization focused on custom manufacturing and process development for fine chemicals, including pharmaceutical active ingredients and intermediates. Operating as a wholly owned subsidiary of LANXESS since 2006, the company supports customer projects from early-stage process development and scale-up through commercial multi-ton production. Saltigo primarily serves the pharmaceutical, crop protection, and specialty chemicals markets from production sites in Leverkusen and Dormagen, Germany. Its offering includes custom synthesis, pilot operations, industrial scale-up, selected fine chemical intermediates, and the insect repellent active ingredient Saltidin (icaridin). For biotech and pharma analysts, Saltigo is best understood as an established small-molecule CDMO and specialty chemical manufacturer rather than a therapeutics developer.
