Our Facilities

    At Exelead, service is state of the art

    Exelead operates a 56,000-square-foot pharmaceutical manufacturing facility in Indianapolis, Indiana and employs a staff of 170. Our company has a worldwide reputation for handling contract manufacturing and contract filling for small to mid-size pharma clients—especially those serving small or rare disease populations. We also help clients with manufacturing and fulfillment during the clinical trial process.

     

    Our facilities play a large role in helping us fulfill that mission, by offering a flexible, scalable manufacturing environment capable of running multiple production lines simultaneously. We specialize in LNP and PEGylated formulations, and we have the staff and verification processes in place to support these complex products.
