Catalent was formed in April 2007 when affiliates of the Blackstone Group L.P. acquired the core of the pharmaceutical technologies and services (PTS) segment of Cardinal Health, Inc.[4] Cardinal Health created PTS through a series of acquisitions starting with R.P. Scherer Corporation in 1998.[5]

In 2014, Catalent became a public company and is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: CTLT).

History

Before 2007

In 1996, Cardinal Health acquired PCI (Headquarters: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania).[6] PCI (Packaging Coordinators Inc.) is a pharmaceutical contract packing service for commercial and clinical packaging.[7]

In 1998, Cardinal Health acquired R.P. Scherer Corporation (Headquarters: Troy, Michigan).[8] Robert Pauli Scherer founded the R.P. Scherer Corporation to commercialize his innovation of softgel encapsulation using the rotary die production process.[9] The following year, in 1999, Cardinal Health acquired Automatic Liquid Packaging, Inc. (Headquarters: Woodstock, Ill.),[6] whose Blow-Fill-Seal Technology allowed Cardinal to enter the sterile product market.[9]

In 2002, Cardinal Health acquired Magellan Laboratories Inc., a company that specialized in product development expertise.[6] In 2003, Cardinal Health acquired Gala Biotech (Headquarters: Madison, Wisconsin).[6] In the same year, Cardinal Health also acquired Intercare Group PLC, broadening its global capabilities in Europe.[6]

From 2004 to 2006, Cardinal Health further expanded its reach in biotechnology and pharmaceutical markets through multiple acquisitions.[6]

Formation of Catalent in 2007

In 2007, the pharmaceutical technologies and services segment of Cardinal Health was purchased by Blackstone Group and re-branded as Catalent Pharma Solutions.[4]

After 2007 and initial public offering

In 2012, Catalent acquired Aptuit, a clinical supply company. As part of the deal, Catalent gained three sites in the US, two in the UK, and one in Singapore.[10] Catalent also acquired all remaining shares for the R.P Scherer site in Eberbach, Germany.[8][11][12] In 2013, Catalent continued the global expansion of its Softgel capabilities through a joint venture with Zhejiang Jaing Yuan Tang Biotechnology Co, a China-based company, and Relthy Laboratories in Brazil.[13]

Catalent announced its initial public offering in July 2014. After raising more than $870 million, Catalent became a publicly traded company on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).[14] The company priced its 42.5 million shares of common stock at $20.50 apiece, with a market capitalization of $2.4 billion. The shares began trading on the NYSE in July 31, 2014, under the ticker symbol CTLT.[14]

In November 2014, Catalent announced it had acquired Micron Technologies, a provider of particle size engineering technologies.[15][16] The acquisition allowed Catalent to expand its portfolio of drug delivery technologies.[15]

In 2016, Catalent licensed the anti-body drug conjugate (ADC) to Triphase Accelerator to help with oncology development,[17] and bought Pharmatek Laboratories to add spray drying to their manufacturing capabilities.[18] In September 2017, Catalent agreed to acquire Cook Pharmica for $950 million, allowing Catalent to expand their biologic manufacturing.[19] In July 2018, Catalent extended their work with Juniper Pharmaceuticals with a $133 million deal.[20]

Alessandro Maselli was appointed as president and chief operating officer in 2019, a newly created position within Catalent.[21] In March, 2019, Catalent invested more than $27 million to commercialize Zydis Ultra. The investment includes new Zydis lines; changes to one of their facilities in Swindon, UK; and a custom suite for commercial equipment.[22] Later in 2019, Catalent partnered with GB Sciences to develop a cannabinoid-derived medicine for Parkinson's disease utilizing the Zydis delivery method.[23]

In April 2019, Catalent agreed to acquire Paragon Bioservices Inc for $1.2 billion to expand its gene-therapy manufacturing capabilities.[24] The deal was completed in May 2019 and included an agreement with Sarepta Therapeutics, a gene therapy manufacturer.[25] As of October 2019, Paragon's employee numbers have almost doubled since the April acquisition.[26]

In June 2019, Catalent acquired Bristol-Myers' European launch pad to expand its global CDMO.[27]

In January 2020, Catalent purchased a manufacturing facility located in Anagni, Italy, from Bristol-Myers Squibb, to manufacture and package biologic and oral solid dose products for multiple companies.[28] In February 2020, Catalent agreed to acquire MaSTherCell, a Belgian gene and cell therapy manufacturer, for $315 million. The acquisition allows Catalent to expand into cell therapy development.[29][30]

In 2020, Catalent partnered with multiple drugmakers, including Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson,[31] AstraZeneca,[32] and Moderna[33] to provide manufacturing, vial filling and packaging capabilities for COVID-19 vaccine candidates.[34][35] Catalent also partnered with ViralClear to manufacture a COVID-19 vaccine candidate at Catalent's St. Petersburg facility.[36]
