Fagron accelerates global expansion with two strategic acquisitions and a key North American licensing milestone
Fagron, the leading global player in pharmaceutical compounding, is pleased to announce two strategic acquisitions that further strengthen its global footprint and diversify its capabilities. These transactions include Amber Compounding Pharmacy, a well-established operator in the attractive compounding markets of Singapore and Malaysia, representing Fagron’s second significant step in the APAC region following its earlier acquisition of Bella Corp in Australia, as well as Vepakum, a specialized packaging manufacturer that expands Fagron’s presence into this new vertical in Brazil. The closing of the Vepakum acquisition is conditional on antitrust clearance from the Brazilian competition authorities.
Through these acquisitions, Fagron remains firmly committed to advancing its growth strategy, driving operational excellence, and maintaining prudent balance sheet management, key enablers that support sustained value creation and position Fagron for long-term success.
The combined businesses are expected to generate approximately €26 million in annual revenue, with an EBITDA margin exceeding Fagron’s current group margin, while the aggregate purchase price amounts to roughly €55 million. This results into an average EV to EBITDA multiple of around 8x.
Additionally, the Company has obtained a license for its new Anazao Health facility in Tampa from the California State Board of Pharmacy, enabling the shipment of patient-specific compounded medications to California. This development reinforces Fagron’s presence in one of the largest and most tightly regulated healthcare markets in the United States, further enhancing its ability to serve patients and healthcare providers with high-quality, customized solutions.
Amber Compounding Pharmacy
Amber stands out as a trusted, well-established leader with five strategic locations across Singapore and Malaysia. As one of the region’s leading compounding manufacturers, Amber is uniquely positioned to adopt future sterile compounding practices. Serving a diverse customer base that includes clinics, hospital pharmacies and distributors, the Company delivers solutions to local and international markets and is widely recognised as a driving force in the fast growing per capita compounding segment
Vepakum
Vepakum is a certified company with two facilities in São Paulo, Brazil. It provides high-quality packaging solutions and will allow Fagron to position in this new vertical and deliver scale benefits through joint packaging, distribution and shared services.
Licensing Update
The California State Board of Pharmacy has granted a license to Anazao Health’s Tampa, Florida facility, authorizing the shipment of compounded medications to California on a prescription-by-prescription basis. This achievement represents a key milestone in building a coast-to-coast nationwide platform for our Health and Wellness business, encompassing both 503A (patient-specific) and 503B (outsourcing) services.
This development will enable us to strengthen our operations within North America’s prevention and lifestyle segment and reinforce our presence in California, while also allowing us to discontinue activities at the former Tampa facility. By eliminating overlapping costs and consolidating operations, we will further enhance service levels for our customers.
Following the granting of this license, all Fagron facilities in the United States are now authorized to ship compounded medications to California, significantly expanding our reach and operational flexibility.
