With over 40 years of experience, Cerbios is a leading company in the development and manufacture of biopharmaceutical active ingredients, such as living bacteria, to strict GMP quality standards.

It all started with SF68®, our proprietary probiotic active ingredient, which we have been producing to a cGMP pharmaceutical grade since 1978.

Over the years, Cerbios accumulated further experience in manufacturing probiotic and live biotherapeutics for its customers worldwide.

Since 2008 Cerbios has been manufacturing the Drug Product version of the proprietary probiotic in the form of hard gelatin capsules in glass bottles, sold in several countries.

Providing not only manufacturing, but also assistance for CMC and regulatory challenges, Cerbios is the gateway to transforming your microorganism into a drug.
