Richter Gedeon Vegyeszeti Gyár Nyilvánosan Muködo Rt : acquires HELM’s entire stake in -Helm BioTec and -Helm BioLogics joint ventures in Germany

RHT is the owner of a teriparatide biosimilar asset with numerous license partners globally, including STADA, Daewon, Mochida and Richter itself. The Terrosa^® brand is currently the key product within the Biotechnology Business Unit of Richter with a total of EUR 56.8mn booked sales in 2023. Total global teriparatide sales by all RHT licensees reached close to EUR 125mn in 2023.

RHB is a northern-Germany based leading microbial CDMO company with three sites, an experienced management, more than 300 employees and around EUR 60mn annual revenues. RHB is expected to complete in 2024 a major, close to EUR 100mn investment to significantly expand its manufacturing capacity enabling further growth and strengthening its service offering to its pharmaceutical clients.

The transaction will consolidate Richter's ownership and control of the German biological assets and will further support the Biotechnology Business Unit's revenues and profitability. Given, RHB is already majority owned by Richter, integration of RHB into the biotechnology business unit is expected to be smooth.

Dr. Erik Bogsch, Director of the Biotechnology Business Unit of Richter commented on the transaction: "The German assets together with Richter's current biotechnology capability in Hungary will create a very strong biotechnology platform allowing even better service offerings in a cost-efficient way ensuring long-term value creation for Richter, and its clients and partners alike."
