Our Story
Built for Partnerships. Driven by Purpose. Advancing Health Science.
Cohance Lifesciences is not just a brand—it’s a culmination of vision, scientific ambition, and purposeful integration. Our story began with a series of intentional moves, starting with the acquisition of RA Chem Pharma.
Over time, a deliberate series of mergers and acquisitions—including ZCL Chemicals, Avra Laboratories, Suven Pharmaceuticals, Sapala Organics, and NJ Bio—brought together differentiated capabilities in Pharma CDMO, APIs, Specialty Chemicals, Formulations, and next-gen platforms like ADCs and Oligonucleotides.
