Samsung Biologics announced a new agreement with Bristol Myers Squibb for large-scale manufacturing of a BMS antibody cancer drug. The agreement expands the existing 10-year manufacturing deal signed in 2013, as Samsung Biologics will manufacture the commercial antibody at its latest and largest biomanufacturing facility, Plant 4, in Songdo, South Korea.
Recently, in July 2023, Samsung Biologics entered into agreement with Pfizer worth US$897M to manufacture biosimilar products for oncology, inflammation and immunotherapy until 2029 in Plant 4. Samsung also confirmed on 6 June 2023 that it will open its fifth manufacturing plant in April 2025.
