Historical comparisons of revenue and profit suggest that Bachem has grown from earlier fiscal years, supporting the case that the company has strengthened its position in its niche market over time.
Peptide-based products as a strategic pillar
One representative area of Bachem’s business is the development and manufacture of complex peptide-based active pharmaceutical ingredients, which are used in a range of therapeutic applications from metabolic disorders to oncology.
