East Rutherford, NJ – January 7, 2011 – Cambrex Corporation (NYSE: CBM) announced today that, effective January 17, Shawn Cavanagh will join the Company as Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, reporting to Steve Klosk, President and Chief Executive Officer.
Mr. Cavanagh will assume leadership for Cambrex’s innovator pharmaceutical contract manufacturing operations, including the related sales, marketing and R&D teams, Cambrex’s biocatalysis business and the integration of Cambrex Zenara.
