Pfeiffer and Valois come under Aptar Pharma brand
Wider range of products and services will be available
Pfeiffer and Valois are realigning their pharmaceutical operations under the Aptar Pharma brand.
For many years, both businesses have been part of the Aptar Group, a family of companies offering consumer dispensing and drug delivery systems. Aptargroup recently realigned its businesses under three market-focused segments: Aptar Beauty + Home, Aptar Food + Beverage and Aptar Pharma.
‘This realignment will make it even easier for customers to do business with us, and we will be able to offer our full product range in each of our three segments. This next strategic step will put us in position to continue our long-term growth and lead our industry for many years to come,’ said Peter Pfeiffer, Aptar president and chief executive.
The Aptar Pharma organisation will be implemented progressively during 2010, and will be fully operational by 2011.
Aptar Pharma will have two divisions: Consumer Health Care, focused on drug delivery solutions adapted to over-the-counter medications; and Prescription, focused on drug delivery solutions specific to prescription drugs.
Aptar Pharma r&d and marketing staff will work together in a global market-focused team of 200 people. Approximately 6% of Aptar Pharma’s annual turnover is dedicated to research, development and commercialisation of novel products.
