2015 - Present

Ecolab and Alvotech first partnered in 2015. An open collaboration and joint spirit of innovation has been the foundation of success ever since. 

Supporting security of supply

During the Covid-19 pandemic, while lead times with other suppliers were as high as 18 months, Ecolab lead times for protein A and Ion Exchange resins remained at 3 months. 

Collaborative partnership model

Ecolab supports customers with ongoing, hand-in-hand collaboration between technical teams.

Delivering reliability and innovation through Protein A resin supply at Alvotech

Since 2015, Ecolab Purolite and Alvotech have developed a strong partnership, fostered by a shared goal of improving the accessibility of essential biologic medicines. To achieve this, both companies focus on ingenuity and agility to enable more cost-effective solutions. 

Ecolab supplies its Purolite Praesto™ line of agarose-based chromatography resins to Alvotech, which are purpose-designed for the purification of monoclonal antibodies and recombinant proteins. These resins are produced with a patented Jetting manufacturing technology, which shortens lead times and improves supply chain sustainability whilst improving process efficiencies.

Alvotech scientists, as with all Ecolab customers, are able to communicate directly with Ecolab R&D and Applications scientists to achieve project-specific goals. As well as facilitating more real-time innovation, this transparent communication also enabled Purolite to support Alvotech manufacturing processes and critical milestones throughout the industry-wide supply chain challenges which arose as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.
