About the department

Material Manufacturing Development is part of Sourcing Operations, which has the overall operational responsibility for the inbound supply chain of Novo Nordisk and consists of 500 employees. We use our differences to create novel ideas and high-quality solutions to ensure continuous improvement of the Sourcing Operations function globally.

Material Manufacturing Development consists of approximately 125 dedicated colleagues organized in three director areas. We are experts in implementing and managing GMP materials and analyses.
