Custom Chemical Development, Manufacturing & Global Sourcing
The Right Chemistry. The Right Manufacturing Resources. One Experienced Partner.
Richman Chemical helps pharmaceutical, medical device, specialty chemical and emerging technology companies solve complex chemistry, manufacturing and sourcing challenges.
Our Virtual CDMO model combines custom synthesis, process development, scale-up, manufacturing, raw material sourcing and project management through a flexible network of specialized technical and manufacturing resources.
Instead of limiting your project to the capabilities of a single facility, Richman Chemical helps identify and coordinate resources suited to your chemistry, scale, quality requirements and commercial objectives.
A More Flexible Approach to Chemical Outsourcing
Built Around Your Project, Not a Single Facility
Every chemistry program is different. The technologies, equipment and expertise required during early development may be very different from those needed for scale-up and commercial production.
Richman Chemical provides a flexible alternative to the traditional single-site outsourcing model.
We begin by understanding your chemistry, specifications, scale, quality requirements and commercial objectives. We then help identify appropriate development, manufacturing and sourcing resources and coordinate the activities required to move the program forward.
The result is a project-driven approach to outsourced chemistry and manufacturing, with Richman serving as a central point of coordination.

The Richman Chemical Virtual CDMO Model
More Flexibility. One Point of Coordination.
A successful chemistry program rarely follows a straight line. As a project progresses from development to scale-up and commercialization, its technical and manufacturing requirements can change substantially. Richman's Virtual CDMO model provides the flexibility to match resources to each stage of the program.
1. Understand
Define the chemistry, specifications, scale, quality requirements and commercial objectives.
2. Match
Identify technical, development, manufacturing and sourcing resources appropriate for the project.
3. Execute
Coordinate technology transfer, development, manufacturing and sourcing activities.
4. Scale
Support progression from laboratory and pilot requirements toward commercial manufacturing.
5. Manage
Provide ongoing project coordination as manufacturing and supply-chain requirements evolve.
Why Richman Chemical?
Expertise Without the Constraints of a Single Manufacturing Site
Choosing an outsourcing partner should not simply be about finding available reactor capacity. It should be about finding the right technical and manufacturing solution for the project.
Richman Chemical brings together chemistry, manufacturing, sourcing and project management to help customers navigate complex outsourced programs.
Flexible Manufacturing
Match the project to appropriate resources rather than forcing the chemistry into a predetermined manufacturing footprint.
Specialized Chemistry
Access technical resources selected according to the chemistry and process requirements of the program.
Integrated Sourcing
Consider raw materials, intermediates and manufacturing requirements as parts of a coordinated supply strategy.
Development-to-Commercial Continuity
Maintain project coordination as requirements evolve from early development through scale-up and commercial supply.
Experienced Project Management
Work through a central point of contact for complex outsourced chemistry, manufacturing and sourcing activities.
