Strong increase in sales of products for the manufacture of pharmaceuticals


Danish enzymes producer Novozymes expects strong sales and earnings in 2014, after what Peder Holk Nielsen, President and CEO, described as an 'eventful 2013'.

Organic sales growth in 2013 was up 7% to DKK11.7bn (US$2.14bn), EBIT grew by 6% to DKK2.9bn and net profit by 9% to DKK2.2bn.

Sales to the Technical & Pharma Industries increased by 7% to DKK757m, driven by a strong increase in sales for the manufacture of pharmaceutical products, particularly in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

Holk Nielsen said: 'We delivered a good finish to the year and ended at the high end of our guided ranges for sales growth and above that for earnings. The outlook for 2014 is positive. We expect that our diversified growth platform will enable us to deliver good sales and EBIT growth.'

Safe, consistent and sustainable hyaluronic acid

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally occurring polysaccharide ubiquitous in nature, which is distributed widely throughout connective, epithelial and neural tissues in the human body. Due to its intrinsic biocompatibility, biodegradability and diverse biological functions, HA is widely used in medical devices and pharmaceutical applications. In response to concerns surrounding the purity of many sources of HA, a <i>Bacillus subtilis</i>-based fermentation process has been developed by Novozymes Biopharma.
