ABOUT US
Inspiring breakthroughs to advance industry innovations
Combining world-class talent with cutting-edge technology, Catalent was created in April 2007 when The Blackstone Group, a premier global investment and advisory firm, acquired the Pharmaceutical Technologies and Services segment of Cardinal Health. The acquisition created a global network of experts and facilities dedicated to the advanced development, delivery, and supply of drug products, with over 75 years of pharmaceutical and consumer health experience and nearly 20 years serving the biotechnology industry. Today, a market leader in nearly every area of drug development, Catalent has broad and deep relationships throughout the globe, manufacturing nearly half of all new drug approvals and producing 30 doses every second
