About Xedev
XEDEV is a dynamic Contract Development & Manufacturing Organization (CDMO) specializing in pharmaceutical formulation, process development, and GMP-compliant clinical manufacturing. We support pharmaceutical and biotech companies worldwide in the development of solid oral dosage forms, from early development through to the production of clinical trial material.
Our core expertise lies in advanced particle engineering technologies such as drying, agglomeration, and coating, with spray drying as our flagship technology. These technologies are embedded in a strong GMP framework, enabling the development, scale-up, and manufacturing of high-quality clinical batches in compliance with regulatory requirements.
As an independent development partner, XEDEV bridges the gap between innovative ideas and robust, GMP-compliant pharmaceutical products. Our integrated approach—combining scientific excellence, process understanding, and hands-on experience in GMP production, validation, and technology transfer—allows us to reliably translate development processes into validated manufacturing operations.
From our modern GMP facility in Zele (Belgium), we continue to grow and strengthen our quality systems.
