Product range from laboratory to production – case study and story

Once a small psychiatric clinic in the São Paulo countryside, Cristália has grown into one of Brazil’s largest and most innovative biopharmaceutical groups, and the only one capable of producing the complete drug chain from the conception of the molecule through to the final product. This Praxis edition highlights their patented animal-free collagenase, a product derived from Brazilian biodiversity and the first time in history that Brazil was able to export biotechnology for therapeutic purposes.

Cristália’s Pharmaceutical, APIs, and Biotechnology Industrial Complex were established at the site of the same farm where Cristália Nursing Home once operated, in the setting of rural São Paulo, surrounded by rolling hills and the Atlantic rainforest. Within this complex, more than 350 drugs and ingredients are produced, including anesthetics (a segment in which the company is a national leader), antiretrovirals, drugs for cancer treatment, dermatological products, and chemical or biotechnological Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs).

The once small pharmaceutical plant located at the nursing home in Itapira has today become a company of 5,600 employees with 13 manufacturing facilities, 116 patents granted, over 350 drugs in line, more than 500 different presentations, and the jewel in the crown is the ability to produce the first biotechnological drugs in the country.
