about us
Patients around the world suffering from chronic conditions depend on the availability, reliability and quality of their established pharmaceutical regimen.
We reliably secure the long-term availability and quality of established original pharmaceuticals worldwide. As a European company with an international team, we pursue a global build & buy strategy with a focus on niche specialty and biotechnological brands.
Portfolios of pharmaceutical companies mature and certain drugs are given lower priority by the companies that originally developed them (lifecycle management), eventually discontinue them completely.
In most cases these are brands that patients and doctors are long time familiar with as the original drug, but which have lost their commercial appeal for the original manufacturer. They may even be medicines that are on the WHO list of essential medicines.
No matter whether they are former blockbusters or niche products, pharma& acquires the marketing authorization and rights of such drugs and secures their availability, reliability and quality for patients and doctors worldwide.
