SCA Pharmaceuticals announced the appointment of Milton Boyer as Chief Executive Officer. Boyer will succeed Dr. Gene Graves, SCA's founder, who announced his retirement on September 6th. Boyer will also serve on the Board of Directors for SCA Pharmaceuticals.
SCA was founded in 2010 and over the past seven years has become a nationally recognized FDA 503B outsourcing facility specializing in providing the highest quality sterile admixture services and pre-filled oral syringes to hospital pharmacies. SCA provides these services across all therapeutic areas of pharmacy including critical care, labor and delivery, anesthesia, and pain management and maintains a wide portfolio of products, including unit dosed oral syringes and drug shortage medications. Under Boyer's leadership, the company will continue its rapid growth with the opening of a new 90,000-square-foot sterile manufacturing facility in Windsor, CT this fall.
Boyer has served in technical, commercial and executive roles in the pharmaceutical industry for more than 25 years with a specific focus in contract manufacturing for both drug substance and sterile drug product. For the last decade, he has been involved in sterile drug product manufacturing, most recently as the Senior Vice President of Drug Product Manufacturing at AMRI, a global contract research and manufacturing organization. Boyer joined AMRI in 2014 upon AMRI's acquisition of Oso BioPharmaceuticals, where he served as President and CEO and as a member of the Board of Directors.
Active in trade groups and educational institutions that support the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industry, Boyer serves on the board of directors of the Drug, Chemical & Allied Trades Association (DCAT) and is now on the executive committee as its President. He has also served on the external advisory board for the University of New Mexico's chemistry and biology department and been an active member of other professional organizations, including the American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists, the Parenteral Drug Association and the Society of Chemical Manufacturers and Affiliates. Mr. Boyer has a bachelor's in chemistry/physics and a master's in biochemistry from Hardin-Simmons University and Texas Tech University.
"I am excited to join SCA at an important phase of the company's development," said Boyer. "I look forward to building on the growth that the company has experienced over the past seven years and working with SCA's talented team to continue providing the highest quality products and services to our customers. I appreciate the support and guidance provided by Dr. Graves in this transition and the opportunity to execute the company's vision."
