Pfizer announced the launch of Pfizer CentreOne, a CMO formed by the combination of Pfizer CentreSource and Hospira One 2 One.

Pfizer’s newly combined global CMO, Pfizer CentreOne, launched on April 20, 2016. The CMO will focus specifically on API synthesis and sterile injectables fill-finish, Pfizer said in a press announcement.

Pfizer CentreOne was formed by the combination of Pfizer CentreSource and Hospira One 2 One. The formation comes after Pfizer acquired One 2 One in September 2015. The newly formed CMO plans to combine Pfizer’s knowledge of specialty APIs with One 2 One’s work with sterile injectables.
