Amdipharm and Mercury Pharma merge

15 March 2013

As has been expected, Amdipharm and Mercury Pharma - both subsidiaries of Channel Islands-based private equity firm Cinven - have merged to create a single, consolidated, international speciality pharmaceuticals company, to be called Amdipharm Mercury Company Limited, abbreviated to AMCo.

John Beighton has been appointed chief executive of AMCo, which will have pro forma revenues of £250 million ($373 million) a year and operations in 112 territories. An important part of AMCo’s strategy will be further product and company acquisitions, which are expected to be announced in the coming days.

“We believe that the merger will allow us to provide an even better service to our partners and to patients, strengthening the close relationships we have forged over the past 25 years,” said Mr Beighton.
