Avanti Polar Lipids was acquired by Croda in 2020. During the pandemic, it became clear that the combination of Avanti’s lipid expertise and Croda’s manufacturing and scale-up capability could enable a faster response to the Covid-19 pandemic. Leveraging this, we became the first company to supply the essential lipid ingredients for a COVID-19 vaccine at scale, globally.
Since then, Avanti Polar Lipids has evolved to become Avanti Research, a global research portfolio and a Croda brand, underpinned by lipid expertise and capability. This compliments the large range of GMP lipids offers by Croda Pharma, including Avanti™, Natraphos and other lipids ranges.
