German drugmaker Stada Arzneimittel (SAZ: Xetra) has increased its indirect shareholding in the Vietnamese pharmaceutical company Pymepharco JSC to 72%, in which it has been a strategic since 2008.
“Vietnam is one of the key growth markets in Asia where we want to continually expand in the future. Our extended investment in Pymepharco is an excellent basis for this," says Peter Goldschmidt, who took over as chief executive of Stada on September 1.
Vietnam is one of the most attractive pharmaceutical markets in this region, with consistent double-digit growth in recent years and currently an equally stable outlook,according to Stada. In 2016, Stada achieved sales in Vietnam in the three-digit million euro range. Pymepharco stands to play a stronger role in the development of neighboring Southeast Asia markets in the future.
