Rocklin, Calif. – CPC Scientific Inc., a leading global synthetic peptide production company that helps bring life changing therapeutics and diagnostics to market, has chosen Rocklin, CA, as the location of its new U.S.-based manufacturing site. The company will initially bring with them up to 50 high-quality life-science and manufacturing jobs.

The 41,000 sq. ft. facility in the Atherton Business Park will be utilized to manufacture clinical and commercial grade peptide products, increasing CPC Scientific’s manufacturing capacity and diversifying their supply chain.

Peptide-based therapeutic candidates have been the fastest growing sector among all the chemical synthesized NCEs (New Chemical Entities) for new drug development in recent years.

For over two decades, CPC Scientific has been a reliable partner for their clients all over the world, including multinational pharmaceutical companies, biotech companies and academic institutions, by providing value-added one-stop-shop development and manufacturing services to support their clinical trials.
