DPT Laboratories & Confab to Integrate


DPT Laboratories and Confab recently announced the integration of the organizations under the leadership of Paul Johnson, Group President and COO. Both DPT and Confab are owned by Renaissance Acquisition Holdings, LLC, a portfolio company of RoundTable Healthcare Partners, and represent its CDMO holdings.

The integration includes a re-branding and new logo for Confab, identifying it as a DPT company. A primary focus of the integration is for DPT’s established sales and marketing team to introduce Confab’s specialized expertise in complex solid, semi-solid, and liquid dosage forms to new pharmaceutical industry clients, especially in the US market. The management teams for both companies will remain in place, with Confab development and manufacturing continuing to operate under the direction of President and General Manager Nathalie Brisson.

“Confab is one of the most-respected pharmaceutical outsourcing organizations in Canada, with more than 30 years’ experience in manufacturing, packaging, and analyzing a wide range of projects for both large and small pharmaceutical companies,” said Mr. Johnson. “The integration will provide our sales team with complementary manufacturing capabilities and a broader range of services to offer to our customers. At the same time, the increased marketing support will leverage the continued investment Confab has made in infrastructure and capabilities, paying dividends in new client development, and increased sales growth.”

Confab has 350 employees and a 140,000-sq-ft, cGMP-compliant turnkey facility, which is licensed by the Health Canada Therapeutic Products Directorate, as well as the US Federal Drug Administration.

“DPT’s sales and marketing team has a proven track record for building client relationships and driving growth,” said Mr. Brisson. “For our team at Confab, this will mean broader recognition of our capabilities and services, access to new markets, and increased opportunities for growth.”
