Progress Acquires Methnani & Associates to Expand Microbiology Expertise

On July 3, 2025, Progress – Experts in Life Sciences announced its acquisition of Methnani & Associates, a consultancy specialised in pharmaceutical microbiology and sterility assurance. The move strengthens Progress’s position in the field of quality and regulatory services for life sciences, with an emphasis on GMP compliance and contamination control. 

 

 

 

 

 

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.
