CarboGen was founded in 1990 at the University of Zuerich. Demand for the early phase supply and process research services saw the company expand to premises at Aarau and subsequently Neuland.

AMCIS was founded in 1982. It formed a joint venture with an American pharmaceutical company in 1994 to undertake exclusive process development and cGMP manufacture. The joint venture was concluded in 2000.

Both CarboGen and AMCIS were acquired by Solutia in 2000. The Swiss base of both companies and the complimentarity of services meant that the combination of the two organisations could effectively service chemistry scale-up from bench to commercial supply.

Following 6 years under the Solutia umbrella the integration process was concluded with the merger of CarboGen and AMCIS into a single legal entity called CARBOGEN AMCIS AG.

CARBOGEN AMCIS AG was acquired by Dishman in August 2006. The new organisation can now coverage predominailly non-GMP services of Dishman and the early phase cGMP focus of CARBOGEN AMCIS AG. Customers will therefore be able to obtain a breadth of flexible, efficient and cost effective development services from a single partner.
