CDMO GuildCDMOGUILD.COM

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.

01 — THE ROLL · CAPABILITY SEARCH

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.

Counts on each chip update live as you filter.

Next step: Save up to 10 companies, then take the shortlist into the Deal Room for one structured RFP — every vendor answers the same line items.

Open the Deal Room

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.

02 — DEAL ROOM · GUIDED SOURCING

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.

Guided demo — sample vendors & figures, nothing is sent or saved

03 — PROTECTED DEALS

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.

04 — VERIFICATION · COMPLIANCE TRANSPARENCY

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).

05 — GATHERINGS

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

Next step: Join the notify list and the first Gathering invite lands in your inbox — no conference flight required.

Notify me

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.

06 — MEMBERSHIP · GUILD DUES

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.
