Prestige Biologics, a Korea-headquartered contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) business, is set to debut on the tech-heavy KOSDAQ next month.
Founded in 2015, Prestige Biologics has focused on manufacturing and developing biologic drugs, particularly biosimilars ― biologic drugs whose patents have expired.
During a press conference Friday in Yeouido, the bio company said it plans to raise 63.9 billion won ($57.7 million) by offering 7.35 million in shares through an initial public offering (IPO).
