Currently, the labs have 80 scientists with the ability to scale up to 150 scientists.

This enhanced facility coupled with our commercial manufacturing network on the same site, enables Kemwell to offer a wider scale of services for the development, testing and commercialization of large and small molecules. In Sweden, Kemwell also provides services for QP release.
