(SeaPRwire) –   WUXI, China, April 23, 2026 — WuXi Biologics (2269.HK), a premier global Contract Research, Development, and Manufacturing Organization (CRDMO), announced that three of its Wuxi-based manufacturing sites—Drug Substance Facility 5 (MFG5), Drug Product Facility 2 (DP2), and the Drug Product Packaging Center (DPPC)—have been granted Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) certification by the South Korea Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS). This accreditation enables WuXi Biologics to provide comprehensive commercial manufacturing services, encompassing both drug substance and drug product, for a bispecific antibody therapy intended for biliary tract cancer patients.

During a five-day on-site audit, all three facilities cleared the MFDS evaluation without any major or critical observations. This success underscores the company’s rigorous quality and compliance frameworks, as well as its proven ability to conduct large-scale, GMP-compliant manufacturing for sophisticated biologic projects.

Within the company’s international GMP manufacturing network, MFG5, DP2, and DPPC work in tandem to offer integrated, end-to-end solutions, including drug substance production, fill-finish services, and specialized packaging, facilitating the efficient commercial distribution of advanced biologic treatments.

Dr. Chris Chen, CEO of WuXi Biologics, stated, “Securing MFDS GMP certification highlights our ongoing dedication to maintaining global quality and regulatory standards. This achievement bolsters our support for partners throughout South Korea and the broader Asia-Pacific region, while reinforcing our technical expertise and systematic capabilities in developing and manufacturing complex biologics, such as bispecific antibodies. We remain committed to leveraging our world-class quality systems and end-to-end manufacturing infrastructure to help our partners expedite the delivery of innovative therapies to patients globally.”
