This article was originally published in PharmAsia News
Executive Summary
Zhejiang Hisun Pharmaceutical has signed an MOU with Alpharma API Hong Kong to set up a joint venture that produces and sells vancomycin. With a business term of 30 years, a total of $50 million will be allocated for the investment. Hisun will put up 49 percent of the $24.3 million paid-up capital. An informed source believes Hisun's real motivation in the venture is not to produce the low-profit vancomycin active pharmaceutical ingredients, but rather, to take advantage of Alpharma's international brandname and sales channels to market its own pharmaceutical preparations globally.
