Piramal Healthcare acquires PlasmaSelect’s Haemaccel brands

Piramal Healthcare will pay cash consideration of E7.7 million for the transaction. The transaction includes the brand rights, contracts, registrations, dossiers and know-how relating to Haemaccel and associated brands. It excludes the manufacturing facility of PlasmaSelect at Marburg, Germany.

Piramal Healthcare is setting-up a new EDQM and UKMHRA-compliant Haemaccel manufacturing facility at Baddi, India with an initial rated capacity of 4.2 million units. This capacity would be able to service the expanded Haemaccel sales. PlasmaSelect will continue to manufacture Haemaccel as per Piramal Healthcare’s requirements to facilitate orderly migration of manufacturing to the new facility at Baddi, India.

Ajay Piramal, chairman of Piramal Group, said: “This acquisition is a stepping stone in that direction and a reflection of our commitment to knowledge and innovation, dynamic action and care that empowers – consistent with our group’s values.”
