Ceva Animal Health invests in new vaccine manufacturing plant

November 26, 2024 - Ceva Animal Health, the fifth largest animal health global player, unveiled its latest investment in European vaccine manufacturing, with the construction of a new facility in Hungary, expanding the capacity of Ceva Phylaxia.

Ceva Phylaxia, with over a century of expertise has been at the forefront of combating major livestock diseases through innovative research and vaccine development.

This development will establish a 7000m2 plant in Monor, Hungary with the most advanced technologies, where Ceva will produce fermentation-based multicomponent inactivated vaccines for animals.

For over 20 years, Ceva has been a strong advocate for prevention through vaccination, heavily investing in preventive medicine to combat zoonotic and new emerging diseases, contributing to prepare for future pandemics. Today, 54% of Ceva's R&D budget is dedicated to vaccine development and the company already provides more than 50 vaccines to fight 19 zoonotic diseases.

The company is the most innovative animal health company in vaccine technologies and one of the leading players on a global scale. Ceva is the first and only company to have developed a mRNA platform for animals in less than three years, the historical world leader in vector vaccines for poultry, and remains the world leader in broiler vaccination and number one in hatchery vaccination. The company has also extensive global expertise in autogenous vaccines.

With this investment, it will further strengthen its position, producing more than eight billion doses of vaccines in this new manufacturing plant annually, on top of other animal health products.

"Building a new facility is always a significant milestone in the line of a company. In Hungary, we already benefit from a strong historical expertise with our Ceva Phylaxia campus. With the addition of this new production unit in Monor, we aim to create synergies to advance preventive medicine. This project reflects our commitment to supporting farmers worldwide by developing tailored solutions to tackle emerging diseases and new variants. It embodies our ambition to build a promising future for our company, employees and partners, both in Hungary and internationally, while strengthening our research and development capabilities." says Marc Prikazsky, Chairman and CEO of Ceva Animal Health.

The new plant is scheduled to start operations at the end of 2026.
