Almac Group is a global pharmaceutical services organization supporting drug discovery, diagnostics, API development and manufacturing, pharmaceutical development, clinical trial supply, clinical technologies, and commercial manufacturing. The company works across the drug development lifecycle, helping pharma and biotech sponsors move programs from early research through clinical development and commercial supply.

Overview

Almac is built for sponsors that need a broad, integrated development and supply partner. Their model spans discovery research, biomarker and companion diagnostic support, API manufacture, formulation development, clinical trial supply, IRT technology, analytical services, and commercial-scale packaging and distribution.

For biotech and pharmaceutical teams managing complex development programs, Almac provides a way to consolidate multiple outsourcing needs under one global partner, especially when clinical supply, drug product development, diagnostics, and regulatory-ready manufacturing support need to stay closely connected.

Accreditations & Compliance

Almac supports regulated pharmaceutical development, clinical supply, diagnostics, and manufacturing programs across global markets. Their services are designed to support GMP manufacturing, clinical trial supply, analytical testing, global distribution, commercial packaging, and regulatory-aligned documentation.

For project-specific work, sponsors should confirm the exact regulatory framework before launch, including GMP status, QP release requirements, temperature-controlled shipping needs, stability requirements, clinical trial supply documentation, diagnostic testing requirements, QA review, and intended submission use.

Core Services

Almac provides clinical trial supply services including clinical supply management, forecasting, inventory management, primary production, secondary packaging and labeling, blinding, product release, Qualified Person services, and global distribution across varied storage conditions.

Their pharmaceutical development and manufacturing services support formulation development, solid oral dose development, clinical trial manufacturing, scale-up, registration, and commercial supply. These services are especially relevant for sponsors moving a clinical candidate from early development into later-phase trials or commercial manufacturing.

Almac also provides diagnostic services for biomarker-driven clinical trials, including genomic services, clinical biomarker development, companion diagnostic development, and clinical testing for global trial stratification.

Additional service areas include API development and manufacturing, analytical testing, commercial drug procurement, commercial packaging, clinical technologies, IRT, biostatistics, adaptive trial support, and clinical trial technology solutions.

Technology & Expertise

Almac’s expertise is centered on connecting drug development, supply chain execution, diagnostics, and clinical trial technology. Their clinical technologies group supports Interactive Response Technology, trial supply optimization, randomization, drug accountability, and complex study designs. Almac reports more than 25 years of IRT experience, 700+ clients, and 4,000 trials supported through its clinical technologies group.

Their clinical supply infrastructure is especially valuable for sponsors running global trials that require packaging, labeling, comparator sourcing, cold chain support, depot strategy, distribution, inventory forecasting, and patient-centric supply planning.

Best Fit Projects

Almac Group is a strong fit for projects involving clinical trial supply, clinical packaging and labeling, global distribution, comparator sourcing, temperature-controlled logistics, IRT setup, drug product development, formulation development, clinical manufacturing, commercial packaging, API development, analytical testing, biomarker testing, companion diagnostics, and global trial stratification.

They are especially well suited for sponsors that need a large, integrated pharma services partner rather than a narrow single-service CRO.
