About KMS

A pharmaceutical company connecting development with commercial supply.

KMS Pharma is a pharmaceutical company supporting the development and commercialisation of complex, niche and differentiated pharmaceutical products. Our work covers novel drug delivery systems, custom product development and complex formulations, taking programmes from early formulation and analytical development through technology transfer, regulatory documentation and commercial supply.

Pharmaceutical development often involves multiple teams, facilities and technical stages. The challenge is maintaining product knowledge and development intent as a programme moves from one stage to the next. At KMS, formulation, analytical, technology-transfer and regulatory scientists work together as one integrated team, helping maintain continuity from development through commercialisation.

Formulation, analytical, technology-transfer and regulatory scientists work together across the programme, helping reduce gaps between development, scale-up and commercialisation.

Our capabilities include complex generics, novel drug delivery systems, sterile products, topical formulations and differentiated reformulations across diverse therapeutic areas.

KMS Pharma supports programmes beyond laboratory development, including technical documentation, technology transfer, bioequivalence through research partners and commercial supply.V-07

Quality

Quality is a sequence, not a checkpoint.

Quality is built into pharmaceutical development from the target product profile, not added at the final test. KMS Pharma defines critical quality attributes early, assesses formulation and process risks, and develops validated analytical methods to support reliable pharmaceutical development. Our approach combines Quality by Design (QbD), analytical development, ICH stability studies and process understanding, helping connect formulation science with technology transfer, commercial manufacturing and regulatory requirements.
