Recipharm AB has entered into a collaboration with Roche and signed a long-term manufacturing agreement whereby Recipharm will manufacture a range of solid dose products.
Recipharm will also acquire a manufacturing facility currently employing approximately 200 people located in Leganés, Spain, from Roche. The modern factory is located close to Madrid, currently produces solid dose products and is licensed to supply products globally to more than 95 countries.
The tie-up will add annual sales of approximately €35 million to Recipharm’s sales.
“We are continuing to gain momentum in the CDMO market through our various profitable growth initiatives,” said Thomas Eldered, chief executive officer, Recipharm. “I am therefore delighted to announce this long-term agreement with Roche. It has become clear during our interactions with Roche that we are closely aligned in our ways of doing business, and we look forward to developing this relationship further by providing high-quality, reliable supplies from Leganés in the future. In addition, we see a highly interesting business development opportunity to add new customers.”
The acquisition of the manufacturing facility and the performance of the manufacturing agreement will be organized in a 100% owned subsidiary of Recipharm. Closing of the transaction and commencement of supply under the agreement is anticipated by the end of 2017.
