Catalent continues big push into cell and gene therapies with Belgian facility buyout

New Jersey CDMO Catalent has made waves the past couple years in the bustling cell and gene therapy space with a series of big acquisitions. After establishing a manufacturing foothold in Belgium as part of a $315 million deal earlier this year, Catalent is now picking up an adjacent site to add to its booming portfolio.

Catalent has acquired a 31,000-square-foot cell and gene therapy facility in Gosselies, Belgium, from Bone Therapeutics' Skeletal Cell Therapy Support SA subsidiary to add to its growing "center of excellence" in the area, it said Thursday.
