Founded by Fathia Methnani nearly two decades ago, the consultancy built a strong reputation advising pharma and biotech companies on aseptic processes, cleanroom behaviour, and microbial risk mitigation. Fathia will remain involved during the transition to ensure a smooth handover of client relationships and internal knowledge.
The acquisition allows Progress to offer clients broader expertise while reinforcing its presence in sterile manufacturing support. For clients of Methnani & Associates, the integration into Progress brings access to a wider team of consultants, deeper regulatory insight, and streamlined project execution.
The merger also reflects a broader trend in the life sciences sector where specialised firms are joining forces to offer more comprehensive services across development and manufacturing lifecycles.
