Bangalore, Feb. 11
Biocon Ltd announced its first footprint in Europe by acquiring 70 per cent stake in German pharma distribution company AxiCorp GmbH for €30 million (around Rs 174 crore).
Biocon now has the distribution muscle in Germany and Europe; it would first launch its branded injectible insulin Insugen, on its own in these markets and follow up with others later, said its CMD, Ms Kiran-Mazumdar-Shaw, at a news conference.
Insugen’s European launch may be 18-24 months away as it was in the process of registration with the EMEA (European Medicines Agency, the regulator).
AxiCorp, founded in 2002, is a €75-million, 170-strong company specialising in marketing and distributing low-cost drugs across Europe.
“AxiCorp heralds our European foray for biosimilars like recombinant human insulin.
“We are very focussed on becoming a key player in insulin globally,” she said.
“We can deliver through a combination of Biocon’s low cost manufacturing and AxiCorp’s low cost distribution,” Ms Mazumdar Shaw said.
