DFE Pharma's decision to extend their collaboration with DKSH in Europe is reportedly because of DKSH's expertise in business development along the entire value chain, as well as for their comprehensive network and strong customer base in Europe.

“We are very pleased that DFE Pharma has chosen DKSH once again as their Market Expansion Services partner for the distribution of their Pharmacel MCC excipient. Thanks to our unmatched footprint in Europe, we can leverage on our size, experience and industry know-how to provide tailored services and exceptional distribution opportunities for DFE Pharma,” said Tanja Schaffer, Vice President Pharmaceutical Industry, DKSH Performance Materials.

The agreement will further strengthen DKSH’s market position in the regions while contributing to the Group's overall profitability over time. DKSH currently partners DFE Pharma in the Philippines for their starch and disintegrants product range.
