Engineered for Difficult Chemistry

Gas-phase, corrosion-intensive, and sulfur-based chemistry demands infrastructure most process lines aren’t built for. As a CDMO built specifically for this category, Cerigo doesn’t retrofit general infrastructure for hazardous chemistry. The platform is built around it from the start.

Sulfur & Gas-Phase Systems.

SO₂, mercaptans, thiophenols, and liquid chlorine are handled as standard, under corrosion-resistant infrastructure and integrated safety design built for exactly this chemistry.

Advanced Reaction Capability.

Acyl chlorination, aminolysis, amidation, acylation, alkylation, and diazotisation each run under in-process monitoring, keeping reaction progression consistent at scale, not just in the lab.

Process & Separation Strength.

High-vacuum distillation, thin-film evaporation, structured packing columns, and acidic isolation are the processes that keep impurity control consistent at scale.

Resource Recovery & Reuse.

Byproducts like HCl and SO₂ are recovered and reused rather than treated as waste, reducing raw material and treatment costs alongside environmental impact.

Designed for Scale & Expansion

Manufactured in India, Supplied Globally.

Reactor Infrastructure.

Glass-lined and stainless-steel reactors, paired with dedicated gas dosing systems for controlled chemical addition, run multiple reaction types on the same physical base rather than a dedicated line for each.

Formulation Capability.

Horizontal bead mills, high-speed dissolvers, and impeller agitated vessels turn actives into stable, consistent end-use systems.

Development-to-Scale Transition.

A lab-to-pilot pathway, from micro through 10L to 200L, runs through PDL and ADL facilities and is validated before capacity is committed.

Dedicated Installation.

Modular plant design, power and utility headroom already in place, and capacity allocated under exclusive long-term frameworks, with commercialisation decisions made quickly once a project is ready.

A Structured Pathway to Commercial Manufacture

Development projects built on hazardous or sulfur-based chemistry often stall at the handoffs: between feasibility and scale-up, or between development and regulatory sign-off. Cerigo runs all four phases as one continuous pathway, so a project isn’t waiting between stages it doesn’t need to wait between.

Route Definition & Feasibility

Synthetic routes surveyed and analytical methods developed, with cost and scale modelled on process data, not assumption.

Process Validation & Scale-Up.

Gram-scale work validated before pilot, with impurity, effluent and hazard planning worked to the chemistry’s own timeline.

Regulatory & Industrial Readiness.

Regulatory alignment and customer qualification run alongside development, so plant design and CAPEX are already underway.

Commercial Manufacture.

Capacity reserved for the project, an IP structure built around it, and supply terms agreed directly between us.

Active Manufacture to Formulation & End-Use Integration

Development doesn’t stop at the active. Cerigo carries projects into formulation and end-use systems too, so the second partner most projects need is one you don’t have to find.

Innovation Partner for Industrial End-Use Systems.

System development and validation aligned to real application environments, formulation across aqueous and solvent-based systems, and solubilisation strategies for hydrophobic or multi-active systems. This extends to support for mitigating future hazard classification risk, and helping transition legacy actives to compliant alternatives as regulations evolve.

Regulatory Support.

Data generation under GLP and Non-GLP protocols, including 5-batch analysis, physical and chemical properties, acute toxicity, and storage stability, aligned to OECD guidelines for submissions such as ECHA and USEPA. This is backed by impurity profiling, preparation of analytical standards, and structured data packages ready for submission.

Structured for Innovation, Designed for Scale

Every project starts with a different question: how much control you want, how predictable the cost needs to be, or how much you’re bringing yourself. Custom synthesis usually answers that the same way regardless of the question: IP stays with the manufacturer, and pricing is opaque. Cerigo answers it differently every time. Process IP returns to you as principal, and pricing is built to be transparent, not guessed at.

FFS (Defined-Scope)

Deliverables are fixed and milestones are clear from day one, the right fit once a route is already proven and ready to scale.

FTE (Integrated Development)

A technical team is assigned directly to your project, with a straightforward path into a defined-scope model once the science matures.

Co-Development

Built for constrained budgets and early conviction, this modelrelies on shared contribution instead of fixed fees, so an early-stage project doesn’t need full funding to startmoving.

Toll Manufacturing:

Once a process is proven, whether built here or brought in, manufacture continues under an exclusive arrangement.

Strategic Alliances:

For projects that need more than a manufacturing agreement, alliances are shaped around what the collaboration actually requires.

Compliance Systems

Certifications.

ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, ISO 45001:2018, and an EcoVadis assessment currently in progress.

Quality Management.

A defined QMS, SOP-driven processes, and validated methods, with batch traceability that holds up to audit rather than just inspection.

Process Safety & Hazard Control.

Hazard identification and risk assessment built into the process itself, backed by gas handling, scrubbing, and corrosion-resistant infrastructure.

Environmental Practice.

Effluent segregation for optimised treatment, with treatment planning built into the development phase from the outset.

Built for Difficult Chemistry. Bonded Through Innovation.

Hazardous Chemistry Platform.

Corrosion-intensive, gas-phase chemistry, handled as a core capability, not an exception.

Decisions Made Where the Work Happens.

Technical and commercial decisions sit together, so projects move at the pace of the work, not a calendar.

Bonded to Long-Term Partnership.

Structured IP models, capacity reserved for the relationship, and supply arrangements built to last.
