East Rutherford-based life sciences company Cambrex Corp. has agreed to buy a North Carolina-based drug company to expand its pharmaceutical ingredients business.
Cambrex will pay about $25 million for High Point, N.C.-based PharmaCore Inc., a privately owned provider of small molecule active pharmaceutical ingredients for clinical projects.
The deal, expected to be completed within 30 days, was announced Monday by the two companies in a joint statement.
PharmaCore, which generates $15 million to $17 million in annual revenue, was founded 1999, and it employs more than 60 people, including nearly 40 process and analytical chemists.

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) Ministry of Health and Prevention (MoHAP) has established a partnership with Novo Nordisk Pharma Gulf focusing on the creation of a national scientific guide for obesity management and weight control. The collaboration also aims to enhance public awareness of cardiovascular diseases and their complications.
Pharma giant Eli Lilly is teaming up with Haya Therapeutics in a $1bn deal to find multiple regulatory-genome-derived RNA-based drug targets, as it eyes up new targets in obesity. Under the deal, the companies will use Haya’s proprietary regulatory genome discovery platform to identify and validate long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) targets for developing potential treatments for obesity and related metabolic disorders.
The sale includes custom formulation and contract manufacturing capabilities for the nutrition market from the production facilities in New Jersey and Utah in the United States, and Tamaulipas, Mexico. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
