Lupin Limited has acquired specialty product portfolio of Germany-based Temmler Pharma, a part of the Aenova Group (a pharmaceutical contract manufacturer). “Temmler’s business has a strong strategic fit with Lupin’s Hormosan business in Germany and enables Lupin to bring an enhanced specialty CNS portfolio to the German market,” said Vinita Gupta, chief executive officer of Lupin Limited.
 
Based in Marburg (Germany), Temmler has a fast growing specialty portfolio of 13 products including key Central Nervous System (CNS) products and specialty products that address rare disease areas like Myasthenia Gravis, Huntington disease as well as fast-growing dermatology products for anti-wart treatment. Since Huntington disease has many symptoms ranging from motoric symptoms to personality changes, both Temmler and Hormosan products can be used to treat the disease.
 
Dr Maurice Chagnaud, president - Europe and head of inhalation strategy, Lupin, commented, “Temmler is a profitable pharmaceutical player backed by a strong and experienced management team that is also taken on and which will strongly support our future growth plans. Temmler operates in niche segments and its specialty product portfolio has strong synergies with Hormosan’s existing CNS portfolio. The acquisition not only complements but would also enhance Hormosan’s specialty portfolio and enables it to grow into niche therapy areas.”
 
The Aenova Group is one of the world’s largest providers of services covering the entire value chain for the development and production of all the main dosage forms and product groups in the field of medicines and dietary supplements. As the European business-to-business market leader, the Aenova Group focuses on high standards of quality, innovative technologies and a clear vision for the future.
