The Pluses of Privately Held Ownership for CDMO Customers
As a privately held company, we do not focus on managing short-term profitability; we are empowered to think long term and collaborate with customers with our goals based on years rather than quarters. In this contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) space, with contracts and relationships that frequently exceed 10 years and involve complex agreements, this unparalleled level of collaboration and long-term view is mutually beneficial. In addition, Koch has a track record of reinvesting 90 percent of earnings back into its companies, so you can feel confident in the stability of our organization, as well as our focus on growing your success.
Koch Benefits for CDMO Customers
Under Koch’s steady hand, and strategic and reinvestment-oriented leadership, the Phillips Medisize organization is incredibly well-capitalized, secure and invested in long-term commitments. Since we are not private equity owned, constrained by quarterly earnings of a publicly traded company, or focused on short-term metrics that may not be in our employees’ or customers’ best interest, we do not make decisions that are short-sighted. Our decisions are based on you, our customer, and the needs of your customers, including healthcare professionals and their patients.
In addition, whether it is Infor’s ERP and information technology solutions or Georgia-Pacific’s paper and packaging products, Koch has strategically invested billions into companies that serve the medical space. Our broad reach of capabilities and business relationships means that together we can maximize the upsides of potential business while downsizing risk. We are optimally positioned to overcome challenges to commercialization, such as dynamic market needs driving capacity fluctuations, supply chain inefficiencies, and hyper-rapid scale-up—from mere hundreds of units of your product to hundreds of millions.
