(International Distribution) OBS Group, through its subsidiary AGP Limited, which is listed on the Pakistan Stock Exchange, has completed the acquisition of a portfolio of 22 pharmaceutical products from Sandoz AG. These products were previously commercialized in Pakistan under the Sandoz brand. The acquisition of this product portfolio from Sandoz is in line with AGP’s commitment to its shareholders to create value through organic and inorganic growth.

AGP’s existing presence in the anti-infectives segment will be further strengthened with the acquisition of several Sandoz products in the category. Moreover, its oncology division has also been strengthened with the addition of the acquired oncology products. AGP is also planning the introduction of new drugs to complement its existing and the recently acquired product portfolio from Sandoz.

The products acquired belong to various therapeutic classes including anti-infectives and oncology. Some of the well-established brands that have been acquired include Ternelin and Zatofen, with exclusive licences granted for the use of Amoxi-Clav, Azomax and Ospamox in Pakistan in the general medicines category, and Paclitaxel and Gemcitabine in the oncology segment.

This transaction was sourced for OBS by The Harel Group, a business development advisor in the biopharmaceutical, medical devices, diagnostics, and OTC industries. “The Harel Group played an integral role in the closure of this transaction. The group has an excellent network in the global pharma industry and they delivered on all of their promises,” said Mr. Tarek Khan, Chairman of OBS Group.

“We’re very proud to contribute to the successful conclusion of the transaction between OBS and Sandoz," says Mr. Jacob Harel, President of The Harel Group. Harel continues, “Both companies are well recognized in the pharmaceutical industry, locally and globally, and bringing the two companies together will benefit the patients and will support both companies’ business vision in Pakistan."
