Sanofi enters strategic agreement with Boehringer Ingelheim on monoclonal antibodies

15 January 2015

French pharma major Sanofi (Euronext: SAN) has entered into a strategic agreement with German family-owned peer Boehringer Ingelheim to manufacture therapeutic monoclonal antibodies.

This would reinforce Sanofi’s manufacturing capacity to be able to support upcoming product launches. Biologics make up 72% of Sanofi’s research and development projects, and of those nearly half are monoclonal antibodies.

Sanofi will have access to Boehringer Ingelheim’s capabilities in Biberach an der Riss, Germany, to transfer and manufacture the antibodies, with initial product transfers beginning early 2015.
