We recently passed a significant milestone on the Symbiosis journey, successfully completing the manufacture of our 1,000th sterile drug product batch! 🎉 Over the last 14 years, Symbiosis has grown from a Scottish start-up into a globally recognised drug product manufacturer, working with biopharmaceutical clients worldwide to produce a range of injectable therapies. This achievement is a credit to the incredible Symbiosis team and their commitment to getting life-saving medicines to patients worldwide. #Symbiosis #Manufacturingexcellence #Fillfinish #Pharmaceutical

Our bi-monthly commercial meetings are a great chance to spend time with the whole team in the same room talking strategy, planning and training. It's not all hard work though, we decided to strengthen team bonds after hours and what better way than a pub quiz! Even better, we won...for about 35 seconds until some shoddy marking snatched away a sweet victory! We had a brilliant night though and it was great for us all to be able to spend some down time together as well. #symbiosis #manufacturingexcellence #pharmaceutical #fillfinish

First it was the Prime Minister at No. 10 and now King Charles at Windsor Castle! 👑 Our fabulous Strategic Operations Director Alison Clayton was invited to Windsor Castle for a Royal reception, Hosted by King Charles III, to celebrate all the winners of The King's Awards for Enterprise 2025. Also in attendance at the amazing event were The Princess Royal, The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh and The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester. Thank you Alison Clayton and the Symbiosis team for all your hard work in helping the business win this prestigious award! The only question now is...which dignitaries should Alison meet next?! #Symbiosis #ManufacturingExcellence

It's the final day of #BIO2025 and we've had a brilliant few days in #Boston making new contacts, meeting clients, attending events and some great team bonding! The rain wasn't going to dampen the fun as co-sponsors of the MassBio Community Celebration at #Ciscobrewery and we even had the DEA try to shut down our Whisky draw on the stand (not even joking!). It's been fantastic to be amongst the whole life sciences community for the last three days. Wishing everyone a safe journey home!
