About Us
Accelerating, transforming challenge into success
Company History
In April 2003, AcceleDev was first formally established in New Jersey USA as a key strategic supplier of unique chemical raw materials and chemistry custom synthesis services. The organization quickly expanded as a result of several strategic core customer partnerships, built around our unique, industry 1st platform. The growth of these partnerships fueled further investment into the 2007 establishment of our AcceleDev R&D Co Ltd site and then our 2010 commercial production site, Jiangsu SeaGate Chemical Science Co. Ltd. Today our Acceledev global organization has a growing staff of 100 people, including 30 highly experienced process chemists.
In response to our customers’ growing demands, we’re continuing to make significant investments in our team and our R&D and production facilities. This includes our 2018 pharmaceutical R&D and production-based partnership with China based Suli Pharmaceutical Technology Jiangyin Co., Ltd. It also includes our newest 2020 announced commercial production expansion of our 2nd RSM site, Hubei SeaGate Pharma Science Ltd. Each of our sites is well equipped with a unique set of chemistry, analytical, and operational capabilities. This diversity allows us to seamlessly perform a wide range of multi-step process chemistry end-to-end, from milligram to multi-metric ton scales. This in-turn maximizes all aspects of API program efficiency for our customers. Since inception, our mission has remained consistent and simple: Provide innovative ideas and high-quality product on time, cost-effectively, while also holding in highest regard our customer’s need for open and responsive communication.
