Our vision & mission

Company history

With over 30 years’ experience, we have supported the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industries with drug development and bringing new drugs to market to improve human health.

CARBOGEN AMCIS was born out of CarboGen, founded in 1990 at the University of Zurich and also AMCIS which was founded in 1982. The companies were both acquired by Solutia in 2000 and merged into the single legal entity now known as CARBOGEN AMCIS AG. Since then, we have continued to grow organically, and employ more than 600 people.

In August 2006, CARBOGEN AMCIS AG was acquired by Dishman Carbogen Amcis Ltd. (previously known as Dishman Pharmaceuticals and Chemicals Limited,) – allowing us within the Dishman Carbogen Amcis group to provide our customers with a fully flexible and effective customised delivery strategy for the entire life of a compound. This partnership has enabled CARBOGEN AMCIS to maintain its position as an industry leader and outsourcing partner for complex highly potent APIs and ADCs.
