The guild where master CDMOs gather.
Search 331 listed contract manufacturers by capability — not by name. Check each one's verification status and evidence, run a guided RFP, and protect the deal milestone by milestone.
Search by capability, not by name
The Guild Roll fuses evidence and regulatory posture directly into discovery; shortlists are ranked strictly by capability and evidence fit — never by payment. No company can buy its position here.
No match for that combination — yet
Try clearing a filter, or tell us who is missing and the Guild desk will scout them.
Directory audit, October 2026: 256 of 331 official company websites were verified against source evidence; the remaining 75 are shown honestly as “Not yet verified.” Companies marked with an evidence note carry a sourced experience highlight from that audit. Listing does not imply membership or endorsement.
Procurement controls, without the procurement swamp
The Deal Room enforces a single standard for CDMO quotes: comparable line items delivered cleanly, not an unorganized stack of PDFs.

Your money moves only when the work does
Milestone escrow released only after contract terms are met, with the Guild mediating disputes — this is the trust engine that makes cross-border sourcing viable. Guild Protected Deals apply this exact logic to CDMO contracts...
Milestone split shown is the standard Guild template; each deal's schedule is agreed in the award and written into the escrow terms.
Concept preview: Protected Deals are in design — no payment rails are connected and no funds move through this page. If a milestone slips, the unreleased balance stays in escrow while the Guild mediates; release requires buyer confirmation at every step.
Compliance transparency, traced to evidence
The Guild's premise is simple: sponsors will find a facility's regulatory record anyway — FDA inspection history, Form 483s, warning letters — so it belongs directly on the profile, in full context.
Counts are computed live from the October 2026 directory audit embedded in this page. “Evidence-linked” profiles carry sourced experience notes (for example Scorpius BioManufacturing, Forge Biologics, and Avid Bioservices, whose notes appear on their Roll cards).
The trade show, without the flight to one
Guild Gatherings bring the rigor of in-person vetting to a digital format, connecting sponsors with vetted partners without the friction of a week-long conference trip.
Capability showcases
One chapter at a time — cell therapy, viral vectors, peptides — member CDMOs present capacity, tech-transfer playbooks, and open slots to qualified sponsors.
Format · 90 minutes · chapter-based
Buyer office hours
Sponsors bring a real program; matched members answer feasibility, timeline, and cost questions live. Shortlists built in the room flow straight into the Deal Room.
Format · small-group · by shortlist
Regional chapter briefings
North America, Europe, and APAC chapters brief members on capacity shifts, regulatory changes, and audit findings from the Guild's evidence desk.
Format · regional · members & guests
The inaugural Gathering season is in planning — no dates are published yet, and we won't invent any. Ask to be notified when the first session is scheduled.
Dues that only start when the value does
One qualified RFP can be worth a seven-figure program, so the Guild's dues are anchored to outcomes, not logins: no member is billed before their first qualified RFP. Membership is by reviewed application — there is no instant checkout.
Pick a cadence — you can switch later. No billing before your first qualified RFP on every paid path.
