Amman: MS Pharma, a fast growing pharmaceutical company based in Jordan and operating across the Middle East, Turkey and Africa, announced today that it has entered into an agreement to acquire 100% of the outstanding shares in Genepharm, a leading European pharmaceutical company. Genepharm’s senior management will remain with the business and help guide the company through the next phase of its growth. The transaction is expected to close by the end of April.
Based in Greece, Genepharm develops, manufactures and out-licenses high-value generic pharmaceutical products. The Company retains a strong portfolio of products and an extensive network of over 223 customers across 70 countries worldwide. Genepharm combines strong R&D capabilities with manufacturing capacity in conventional solids, sterile liquid (oncology) and oncology oral solids.

The acquisition will allow Genepharm to access MS Pharma’s manufacturing facilities and products portfolio and be part of a group employing over 2000 employees. Genepharm’s portfolio will be strengthened with sterile injectable products and biotechnology candidates and plans are in place to significantly increase the development resources in Athens.
