São Paulo, March 2020 – Eurofarma, a Brazilian multinational with its own operations in 20 Latin American countries, has signed an agreement to purchase Hypera Pharma assets, recently acquired from Takeda for the markets of the region, with the exception of Brazil.
There are 12 drugs in all, including own and licensed, over-the-counter and prescription, which total UDS 38 million in sales.
The decision is in line with the organization’s strategic plan for the purpose of Eurofarma becoming a strong regional competitor and with the goal of international revenues representing 30% by 2022. It also contributes to expanding the company’s exclusive portfolio, since some products are protected by patent.
“The acquisition is in line with our international expansion strategy through acquisitions and this is also a major step towards having a robust platform in Mexico, the second largest market in the region”, says Maria Del Pilar Muñoz, vice president of Sustainability and New Business.
Mexico, the main target market, accounts for 95% of sales for the acquired portfolio. There, the agreement stipulates that Eurofarma will absorb part of Takeda’s commercial team, consisting of approximately 80 employees working in medical advertising.
With a lesser representation, the transaction includes assets in Argentina, Ecuador, Mexico, Panama and Peru, with emphasis on Neosaldina in Colombia.
The completion of this transaction depends on regulatory authority approval.
