Health History | Celltrion — The First Bioreactors on Academy-ro, Songdo
kevin
People treat Celltrion as a finished Songdo campus that always sold biosimilars.
The first plant was a vacant lot in a city that did not yet exist.
In February 2002 Seo Jung-jin established Celltrion after two years of scouting following the collapse of Daewoo.
Nexol, the consulting firm he had founded in 1999, acted as the domestic agent for a planned VaxGen joint venture.
Incheon leased a Songdo plot rent-free for ten years.
Groundbreaking for the first plant and research centre was in March 2003.
Construction finished in late 2005.
A contemporary plant profile put the first-phase investment near 85 million dollars in mid-2000s dollars for a 50,000-litre mammalian cell-culture works.
The JoongAng Ilbo recorded a 300 billion won figure in 2008 won for the wider culture facilities, financed in part against the rising land.
The anthrax-vaccine contract that first justified the plant was later cancelled.
The company then shifted to contract manufacture and to its own antibody biosimilars.
Remsima received the first European approval for a monoclonal-antibody biosimilar in 2013.
The registered office is 23 Academy-ro, Yeonsu-gu, Incheon.
Pin the public frontage on Academy-ro in Songdo.
Describe only what is visible from the road.
What survived is a Songdo factory that outlived the vaccine contract it was built to fill.
