Hayashibara Company has chosen DKSH as distribution partner to collaborate throughout Europe, Israel, South East Asia, and Japan. Under this agreement, DKSH’s business unit performance materials, a leading provider of specialty chemicals and food ingredients, will distribute Hayashibara’s pharmaceutical excipients in 26 countries.
Hayashibara’s excipients are widely used for drug formulation in the market. Thanks to DKSH’s knowledge of the pharmaceutical market, the registration support, and the high-end procurement, the Swiss-based market expansion services provider was selected to distribute Hayashibara’s broad range of excipients through its strong global network. Moreover, DKSH will also support Hayashibara to expand their biosimilar business in the near future. “The contract, signed in July 2010 in Okayama, Japan, is the logical and well appreciated continuation of a fruitful and longstanding relationship, during which DKSH has successfully distributed Hayashibara’s personal care ingredients to leading cosmetics companies around the globe and proved its credentials as first class service provider. We have a strong customer base in the markets concerned and are confident that these local business partners will also be excited about the opportunity to have access to Hayashibara’s high-quality excipients”, says Mario Preissler, global business unit manager performance materials.
