In the development and manufacturing of medicines—especially in regulated markets such as the European Union—it is increasingly common to outsource part of the process to specialized companies. This is where two key players come into focus: CMOs (Contract Manufacturing Organizations) and CDMOs (Contract Development and Manufacturing Organizations). Although often used interchangeably, their scope and functions…
