Galenica: Verfora consolidates its leading position in the Swiss CHC market Donnerstag, 02. Juli 2020 - 06:51
Thursday, 2 July 2020
On 1 July, Galenica acquired the Hedoga Group with its well-known brands Osa®, Osanit® and Carmol®. Verfora has thus secured the rights to strong brands and marketing authorisations with potential that are an ideal complement to the current portfolio. Accordingly, Verfora can consolidate its leading position in the Swiss consumer healthcare (CHC) market and strengthen its positioning as the most important partner for pharmacies and drugstores for over-the-counter medicines and health products. The export business will also be expanded in a targeted manner.
The Hedoga Group includes Swiss-based Iromedica Ltd. and Austria’s Dr. Schmidgall LLC, each with some 20 employees. The focus of the Group is on marketing over-the-counter (OTC) medicines, medical devices, food supplements and cosmetics. In 2019, the Group as a whole generated net sales of CHF 25 million, of which almost half in Switzerland and the remainder in Austria, Germany and selected export markets in particular.
