History
Procept, founded in 1994 and backed by more than 30 years of experience, is the pioneer and specialist in small- and pilot-scale processing equipment. By enabling development with minimal material use and precise data logging, Procept technologies allow customers to design, optimize and scale their processes with confidence – resulting in one of the fastest tracks from concept to market.
Xedev was established from the Procept process equipment demo center, where rising global demand for outsourced formulation and process development services led to the official launch of Xedev in 2012.
Since then, Xedev has evolved from a small feasibility laboratory into a specialized, knowledge-driven CDMO with strong capabilities in formulation development, process development and manufacturing for the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, chemical and food industries.
Xedev shares its facility with Procept, creating a unique and powerful synergy. Xedev integrates Procept’s advanced technologies into its services, while Procept engineers deliver immediate technical support. This bi-directional collaboration accelerates innovation, improves efficiency, and strengthens the quality of all Xedev operations.
In addition to the Procept equipment, Xedev offers complementary technologies – including analytics and tableting – to support complete drug product development workflows.
With this integrated setup and global customer reach, Xedev combines scientific excellence, state-of-the-art equipment, and rapid development capabilities – supporting clients from early-stage feasibility through clinical success.
