Apr 1st, 2016 Acquisition of majority shares in joint venture
On April, 1st 2016 PharmaZell has acquired a majority stake in a new JV created from the bile business of Fayman International (Australia). With this step PharmaZell has secured the raw material for its production of ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) collecting bile directly from slaughterhouses worldwide.
The JV consists currently of three entities: Pharmachol India, Pharmachol Australia and Pharmachol South Africa. More collection centers will be founded in due course. This way PharmaZell is in the unique position to control the entire supply chain from collection of bile from hundreds of slaughterhouses worldwide right to the conversion to UDCA at its Swiss plant using our novel enzymatic process.
The conversion from bile to UDCA is done by using proprietary technology applying new enzymatic systems to achieve selective conversions in the API sysnthesis. EDQM has already granted a CEP for this process.
