ChemCon is a good example of the approximately 300 new companies founded in the BioValley over the past 15 years that are involved in the life sciences in one way or the other. ChemCon is engaged in contract research and custom synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients and intermediates. The products are manufactured on small scale under GMP-conditions. Based in Freiburg employing 40 people, ChemCon recently expanded into the USA.
