Established in 2011, the CMO Leadership Awards recognize top outsourcing partners. The awards are presented by Life Science Leader magazine and Industry Standard Research (ISR). The winning CMOs are chosen through impartial market research based on feedback from sponsor companies that utilize outsourcing services. More than 86 contract manufactures were assessed by 23 performance metrics in ISR’s annual Contract Manufacturing Quality Benchmarking survey. Based on ratings of recent outsourced projects provided by sponsors, this experiential feedback is analyzed by sponsor company size to reveal leading CMOs in different performance categories.

Mark Cassidy, CEO, Ajinomoto Bio-Pharma Services EU, stated, “This award is especially meaningful for us as we take great pride in providing personalized service and the expertise to meet our clients’ needs in delivering quality products.
