Now, to meet the increasing demands of CDMO services from various customers, Chime has started the second phase of the facility's expansion to increase its total manufacturing capacity to more than 140,000 L within the next five years. Chime provides support to the biopharmaceutical industry from early drug development to late-stage clinical and commercial current good manufacturing practice (cGMP) production.

The financing round was led by VMS Group, followed by Fidelity International and Panacea Venture. Chime previously secured $125 million in financing in early 2020.
