Neuraxpharm and API specialist Inke part with help of private equity company
27 Apr 2023
Acquisition
The company says the decision will allow it to focus more on its core CNS therapeutic area and for Inke to accelerate its development as an independent entity.
Established in 1980 and based in Spain, Inke, says it is the partner of choice for inhalation APIs. The company combines more than 20 years of in-house experience in micronization and particle engineering with complex synthesis processes and high regulatory expertise. It has established preferential relationships with major pharmaceutical companies worldwide, including in key markets such as the US and the EU, as well as the highly regulated Japanese market.
Neuraxpharm says its decision to divest Inke allows the group ‘to sharpen its focus on becoming a leader in its core business of CNS disorders as it solidifies its position in Europe and continues to expand its global footprint’.
Keensight Capital will support Inke’s team, led by Miquel Bachs, in its next phase of growth. The private equity company will support Inke notably by helping to expand its footprint, broaden its offering, grow its product portfolio, and attract complementary professionals. Keensight expects to be able to leverage its extensive knowledge, expertise, and network in the pharmaceutical industry, in order to achieve these goals.
Jörg-Thomas Dierks, CEO of Neuraxpharm, added: “This transaction is beneficial for all parties. Inke, its customers and employees will benefit from Keensight Capital’s expertise and investment track record in the healthcare sector.
