全球领先的开放式生物制药技术平台公司药明生物（WuXi Biologics, 2269.HK）今日宣布，其从事疫苗合同定制研发生产（CDMO）服务的子公司药明海德已经与一家全球疫苗巨头达成战略合作伙伴关系，签署了长达二十年的疫苗生产供应合同，将在爱尔兰新建一座疫苗专用生产基地服务全球市场，该合同总金额约30亿美元。

根据该合同，药明海德已经着手在爱尔兰新建一座集疫苗原液、制剂、工艺放大、质量控制（QC）实验室于一体的工业化生产及供应基地，专门生产该客户的创新性疫苗以供应全球市场。该生产基地预计2022年投入运行。

 

2019年11月，药明海德宣布投资2.4亿美元建设疫苗原液及制剂厂等生产基地。该基地将位于药明生物爱尔兰园区内，毗邻药明生物正在建设的全球领先生物制药“未来工厂”生产基地，后者预计将于2021年投入商业化生产。

 

药明海德是药明生物与位于上海的海利生物（股票代码：603718.SH）共同成立的合资企业，致力于打造全球疫苗行业领先的一体化能力和技术平台，提供疫苗合同定制研发生产（CDMO）服务，赋能全球疫苗行业研发和生产。

 

“此项战略合作开创了疫苗行业全新合作模式，对药明生物、药明海德乃至全球疫苗产业而言都具有历史性意义。由于生产工艺高度复杂、分析检测方法繁多以及法规标准严格，疫苗生产难度颇高，生产过程中的工艺质量控制对确保产品质量也至关重要。此次与全球疫苗巨头达成战略合作伙伴关系，独家生产一款创新性疫苗并供应全球市场，进一步彰显了药明生物、药明海德领先的技术优势和全球高标准质量体系。”药明生物首席执行官兼药明海德董事长陈智胜博士表示，“疫苗CDMO业务是药明生物发展的新增长点之一，该项目的启动将推动疫苗业务进一步助力公司持续高速增长。药明生物将携手药明海德继续通过健全强大的全球供应链网络，赋能合作伙伴生产高质量治疗性蛋白药物及疫苗产品，造福全球病患，保护人类健康。”
