What Porton Pharma Solutions does

Sichuan CDMO providing custom synthesis, process development and manufacturing of drug intermediates and APIs for global pharma.

Paid fees for development work and then per-batch or per-kilogram supply once a customer's drug reaches commercial sale, so the pay-off from early development work comes later if the drug succeeds. Revenue therefore depends on customers' pipelines and approvals.

In one line: A smaller Chinese Lonza/Catalent.
