31 Jan 2018 --- Swiss multinational, chemicals and biotechnology company, Lonza has exceeded 2017 earning expectations with robust sales and profit growth that is partly down to acquiring Capsugel last summer. Having closed the acquisition on 5 July 2017, Lonza consolidated Capsugel for nearly six months last year, which the company says strengthens its positions as a world leader in pharmaceutical, biotech and specialty ingredients markets. And now Lonza announces it’s “record-breaking” full-year results, hailing 2017 as a “major transformational year” for the company.
