At the event, PCMO will highlight its public CDMO (Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization) services, supported by globally competitive GMP manufacturing facilities. In particular, PCMO will actively present its differentiated capabilities and business strengths, including process development, clinical material production, biopharmaceutical commercialization support, and bio workforce training programs.

PCMO’s infrastructure within the Hwasun Vaccine Industry Special Zone continues to advance. The center is preparing for the full-scale operation of its mRNA manufacturing facility in July this year. In addition to its existing vial filling capabilities, PCMO will establish a pre-filled syringe production line, enabling end-to-end process support—from mRNA synthesis, modification, and delivery system manufacturing to final drug product production.

Jinyoung Song, Team manager of External Relations at PCMO, stated, “This exhibition provides a valuable opportunity to expand practical networks with domestic and international pharmaceutical and bio companies.” He added, “By leveraging the industrial infrastructure of the Hwasun Vaccine Industry Special Zone and PCMO’s technological capabilities, we aim to identify new research opportunities and further strengthen partnerships with related institutions.”

Meanwhile, the 16th KOREA PHARM & BIO 2026, co-located with KOREA PACK & ICPI WEEK 2026, is the largest pharmaceutical and bio industry exhibition in Korea, offering insights into the latest market trends and technological advancements.
