While Ivers-Lee will remain a separate legal entity, its operations will be integrated into Alvotech’s Technical Operations division, supporting Alvotech’s ambitious plans for growth.

“Ivers-Lee has been an Alvotech preferred partner in assembly and packaging for several years. We know and trust each other very well, having worked closely together. As Alvotech prepares for the launch of three new biosimilars in 2025 and sales growth in global markets, the integration of Ivers-Lee into our Technical Operations, provides added flexibility and capacity to meet increased global demand for our biosimilars, maintaining the highest level of quality and service,” says Robert Wessman, founder, chairman and CEO of Alvotech.

GMP-licensed and FDA approved

Ivers-Lee’s site in Burgdorf is GMP licensed, and FDA approved. Among the capabilities that will be integrated with Alvotech’s operations are assembly and packaging of autoinjectors, pre-filled syringes and safety devices and packaging of vials. Ivers-Lee has an international customer base and will also continue servicing other existing clients and providing CMO services, including blister and stick-pack activities as well as clinical supplies and QP services, provided by the unit in Lörrach.
