Pharmacin has established relationships within the industry and has obtained substantial market coverage in Europe. Aurobindo expects to build on these relationships to participate in the generic pharmaceuticals value chain. The product portfolio of Aurobindo, the manufacturing and r&d capabilities are expected to help strengthen and grow the relationships of Pharmacin. Aurobindo would stand to benefit as this acquisition would provide an opportunity to expand into several markets in Europe with a dependable infrastructure and proven relationships.
This is Aurobindo's second acquisition in Europe, after acquiring Milpharm Limited in UK in early 2006. Aurobindo believes that such acquisitions reduce the time to market and enhance the relationships in the generic value chain in addition to building a broad and formidable product portfolio.
Motilal Oswal Investment Advisors Private Limited, was the lead advisor to Aurobindo Pharma Ltd on the transaction.
