High Potency Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients
Innovation made. Easy.
Umicore is a global materials technology and recycling company. We focus on application areas where our expertise in chemistry, materials science, metallurgy and recycling makes a real difference. Our business philosophy is centered on the creation of tailor-made solutions for a wide range of high tech materials. We have a proud history of more than 100 years of expertise in fully integrated metal processing. We distinguish ourselves by recycling products that contain our materials and by doing so, we complete the metals loop contributing to the efficient usage of scarce natural resources.
The Precious Metals Chemistry business unit focuses on understanding your rapidly changing needs. We provide:
» innovative metal-based chemistry and applications
» commercial-scale manufacturing and» supply chain expertise to enable your
current and future technologies.
Innovation and progress are our steady companions. We offer an integrated, long-term collaborative partnership approach to research, development and commercial manufacturing that offers customers continued support through-out the product’s life cycle.
The key to our success is our deep understanding of customer-specific applications. This enables us to translate conceptual ideas into solid chemistry solutions that work for our customers.
Our production naturally benefits from our longstanding experience in the platinum group metals chemistry: a fully integrated precious metal stream from metal refining and purifi-cation down to the in-house production of key starting materials and recycling of all metal containing production residues. This allows an outstanding advantage when transforming high value platinum metal.
This professional and accurate precious metal management is naturally part of our services to customers.
High potency APIs are our passion
Umicore Precious Metals Chemistry is one of the world’s largest producers of platinum APIs for anti-cancer treatment. We pride ourselves in having over 50 years of experience in the platinum group metals chemistry and over 20 years in organometallics.

Opened in 2009 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, our new, state-of-the-art hAPI facility produces according to cGMP requirements for global markets and has been inspected and endorsed by a variety of health agencies and customers. Additionally, the high standards of these facili-ties and systems have been verified by an inde-pendent third party audit according to ISO/IEC 17020 standards in 2014.
Managed under European standards and values, the Argentinian hAPI manufacturing site offers our customers an advantageous cost competitive-ness, as well as unique and innovative options to develop launch strategies for generic molecules.
We offer contract development and manufactur-ing services for your metal- based and organic highly potent molecules.
All research & development work is performed by our dedicated R&D group in Hanau-Wolfgang, Germany. Products and processes developed in Germany are transferred to our Argentinean hAPI plant for GMP production of clinical or commercial batches.
Our quality control teams in Argentina and Germany apply the latest analytical techniques and methodologies. Our in-house facilities and close cooperation with external contract laboratories allow us to also offer quality control services beyond standard analytics. We go the extra mile to offer our clients a constant, superior product quality!
