Future Outlook

Over the past few years, Mycenax has further expanded on its capability of complete integration of upstream and downstream processes coupled to cGMP production at the international stage, with 80% of its revenue from foreign markets (e.g. Japan, South Korea, Singapore). JCR, a longtime customer of Mycenax, has established a smooth cooperation model with Mycenax for the optimization of biopharmaceutical process development and GMP production operation, which lends to the common standards and direction that both companies strive towards. JCR’s central basis of “Quality over Quantity” and their corporate value of “contributing to human health through drugs” resonate equally with Mycenax, capturing the belief both companies have in providing high-quality refined services and medicines. These shared values establish synergistic cooperation in this partnership for win-win situations as the private equity investment from JCR affirms Mycenax’s professional technology and services, doubling as a boost to Mycenax’s long term development. Mycenax hopes to continually build on the synergy established with JCR, improving operational efficiency and strengthening international competitiveness, to accelerate Mycenax’s vision of becoming a base for global biopharmaceutical development and production.
