  • Pharma Drives Economic Growth in Central Europe
    What the doctor ordered: Pharma drives economic growth in Central Europe Leveraging location, low costs, and strong legacy companies with a skilled labour pool, the pharmaceutical industry is a quiet success story in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). The sector is a major contributor to exports and R&D spending in several countries, and has become a magnet for M&A deals in recent years. International pharmaceutical companies have a strong manufacturing presence across the CEE region, producing and exporting a wide range of products. US multinational Teva, for example, gained CEE assets – including two generics factories in Bulgaria and oncology drugs facility in Romania – when it acquired Allergan’s Actavis Generics in 2016. Meanwhile, Sanofi announced earlier this year that it would carve out its active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) business as a standalone company, creating the world’s second-largest API manufacturer.[1]Its production facilities will include a plant in Ujpest, Hungary. Basel-based Novartis has invested nearly €2bn in Slovenia since 2003, largely through its generics and biosimilars business Sandoz, which has four locations in the country. And in 2019 Sandoz itself announced a deal for the global commercialisation and distribution of a biosimilar to combat multiple sclerosis, to be developed and manufactured by Gdansk-based Polphama Biologics.[2] An export edge Generics manufacturing in particular relies on three factors: low costs, reliable supply chains, and a skilled workforce – including a regulatory team able to spot products coming off patent. CEE has all these factors, making it a prime manufacturing location for the rest of Europe and beyond.
