The CDMO landscape is crowded, fragmented, and increasingly complex. What does it take to stand out and lead in such a competitive space?

This week on Making It In Manufacturing, Harry Sloan sat down with Tom Sellig, CEO of Adare Pharma Solutions with a long-standing career spanning commercial leadership, pharma services, and executive roles across global organisations including, Procter and Gamble, Covance, Patheon, LabConnect, and Thermo Fisher Scientific.

In this episode, Tom Sellig covers:

- How Adare Pharma Solutions positions itself as a technology-driven oral solid dose CDMO with global capabilities across North America and Europe

- Why having both US and European manufacturing capabilities is critical for business continuity, regulatory navigation, and client needs in today’s geopolitical environment

- The key differentiators behind Adare’s success, including technological breadth, flexibility as a mid-sized CDMO, and the ability to support both large-scale and highly specialised projects

- Building a deeply embedded client-centric culture, including company-wide alignment and continuous customer feedback integration

For leaders navigating the CDMO and broader Life Sciences manufacturing space, this episode offers a grounded perspective on strategy, growth, and execution. Watch the full conversation for a clear view on what sustainable leadership in this sector really looks like.
