In recent decades, Lonza has transformed itself from a seller of 'what the plant made' to a producer of 'what the market wants', whatever the product, within the scope of our capabilities. This means that in addition to a constantly evolving list product gange Lonza now nurtures a corporate culture based on intimate relations with customer companies, which are often themselves industry leaders. This is particularly true in the life science industry where Lonza offers a combination of classical organic synthesis and biotechnology for the exclusive development and manufacture of advanced intermediates and active ingredients on a true partnership basis.
