Twenty new active ingredients being developed
Eighty employees at Cheminova’s development department.
The development of new products and new processes at Cheminova continues in the development department following the identification of potential candidates – in close collaboration with the project organisation.
The number of new active ingredients being developed has grown markedly in recent years. Previously, the development department devoted most of its efforts to a small number of large products, whereas today the department is working on the development of more than 20 new active ingredients. Each active ingredient comes with several different formulations.
The aim is to introduce three new products from Cheminova each year in the coming years so the list of all identified potential product candidates for the Business Plan period is quite extensive.
The development department is responsible for developing new products and new processes.
More than 20 active ingredients are currently being developed – and each active ingredient
comes with several formulations.
– Not all candidates will qualify for further development, but many will, and we expect to increase the allocation of resources to the development department considerably, says Bjørn Albinus.
Investments are being made both in new facilities and in new employees in order to live up to Business Plan 2010.
- The development of new products requires higher investments, but the group has the necessary strength to pursue the long-term plan, which will strengthen our position in every way, says Bjørn Albinus.
During the plan period, the number of employees in the development department in Denmark will thus increase from 70 to 80, while similar expansion will take place at the company’s laboratories in India.
