Catalent, Inc. (Catalent Pharma Solutions) is a multinational corporation headquartered in Somerset, New Jersey. It is a global provider of delivery technologies, development, drug manufacturing, biologics, gene therapies and consumer health products. It employs more than 14,000 people,[2] including approximately 2,400 scientists and technicians. In fiscal year 2020, it generated over $3 billion in annual revenue.[3]

Catalent was formed in April 2007 when affiliates of the Blackstone Group L.P. acquired the core of the pharmaceutical technologies and services (PTS) segment of Cardinal Health, Inc.[4] Cardinal Health created PTS through a series of acquisitions starting with R.P. Scherer Corporation in 1998.[5]

In 2014, Catalent became a public company, listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

In 1996, Cardinal Health acquired PCI (Headquarters: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania).[6] PCI (Packaging Coordinators Inc.) is a pharmaceutical contract packing service for commercial and clinical packaging.[7]

In 1998, Cardinal Health acquired R.P. Scherer Corporation (Headquarters: Troy, Michigan).[8] Robert Pauli Scherer founded the R.P. Scherer Corporation to commercialize his innovation of softgel encapsulation using the rotary die production process.[9] The following year, in 1999, Cardinal Health acquired Automatic Liquid Packaging, Inc. (Headquarters: Woodstock, Ill.),[6] whose Blow-Fill-Seal Technology allowed Cardinal to enter the sterile product market.[9]

In 2001, Cardinal Health acquired International Processing Corporation, a company that was renowned for its expertise in oral modified-release dosage form development and manufacturing. In 2002, Cardinal Health acquired Magellan Laboratories Inc., a company that specialized in product development expertise.[6] In 2003, Cardinal Health acquired Gala Biotech (Headquarters: Madison, Wisconsin).[6] In the same year, Cardinal Health also acquired Intercare Group PLC, broadening its global capabilities in Europe.[6]

From 2004 to 2006, Cardinal Health further expanded its reach in biotechnology and pharmaceutical markets through multiple acquisitions.[6]

Formation of Catalent in 2007

In 2007, the pharmaceutical technologies and services segment of Cardinal Health was purchased by Blackstone Group and re-branded as Catalent Pharma Solutions.[4]

After 2007 and initial public offering-2019

In 2012, Catalent acquired Aptuit, a clinical supply company. As part of the deal, Catalent gained three sites in the US, two in the UK, and one in Singapore.[10] Catalent also acquired all remaining shares for the R.P Scherer site in Eberbach, Germany.[8][11][12] In 2013, Catalent continued the global expansion of its Softgel capabilities through a joint venture with Zhejiang Jaing Yuan Tang Biotechnology Co, a China-based company, and Relthy Laboratories in Brazil.[13]

Catalent announced its initial public offering in July 2014. After raising more than $870 million, Catalent became a publicly traded company on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).[14] The company priced its 42.5 million shares of common stock at $20.50 apiece, with a market capitalization of $2.4 billion. The shares began trading on the NYSE on 31 July 2014, under the ticker symbol CTLT.[14]

In November 2014, Catalent announced it had acquired Micron Technologies, a provider of particle size engineering technologies.[15] The acquisition allowed Catalent to expand its portfolio of drug delivery technologies.[15]

In April 2019, Catalent agreed to acquire Paragon Bioservices Inc for $1.2 billion to expand its gene-therapy manufacturing capabilities.[23] The deal was completed in May 2019 and included an agreement with Sarepta Therapeutics, a gene therapy manufacturer.[24] As of October 2019, Paragon's employee numbers have almost doubled since the April acquisition.[25]
