February 10, 2007


The Bangalore-based The company and Adcock Ingram Holdings (PTY), a leading South Africa-based healthcare company, have signed an agreement to set up a joint venture in Bangalore to cater to the burgeoning South African healthcare market.



According to Medreich CEO Rajeev Mehta, "This is the culmination of a relationship between Medreich and Adcock working in close cooperation to cater to the healthcare markets in South Africa". Under the agreement, Medreich's world-class production facilities in Bangalore will be utilised. Medreich and Adcock Ingram as equity partners will together invest to the tune of US$ 16 million (Rs 710.000 Millions) in the joint venture.


Medreich, which has a strategic presence in Europe, UK, South East Asia, Australia and New Zealand, will continue its independent thrust to consolidate its growth in these markets as well. Medreich subsidiaries and joint ventures reflect the company's core value: 'global reach through local partnerships. Last year, Temasek Holdings, the investment arm of the Government of Singapore, acquired an equity stake in Medreich as a strategic investment.

Adcock Ingram, a leading South African branded healthcare marketing and manufacturing organization, is part of Tiger Brands, a JSE and LSE listed company with a market capitalization of US $ 3.1 billion. Tiger Brands have a diverse food and healthcare portfolio in South Africa. Besides, Adcock Ingram owns numerous leading brands in the pharmaceutical sector in South Africa and has a strong presence in both private and tender markets of South Africa. The company has manufacturing facilities and a Formulation Development Centre in Johannesburg.

Significantly, Medreich's business model envisions migrating from large volume contract manufacturing to higher value-added strategic partnership with global majors. For Adcock Ingram, this is one more step towards growing its global presence. This JV is one aspect of Adcock Ingram's overall global strategic supply chain strategy, providing a competitive sourcing route and expansion of operations outside South Africa. Adcock Ingram will, at the same time, invest in its local South African manufacturing capacity.
