As a distributor of feed and food ingredients, it was a natural progression for Chr. Olesen to expand into distributing ingredients for the veterinary pharmaceutical industry. The journey of distributing pharmaceutical ingredients started in 2006. Since then, we have further gone into the human API market and later into exclusive intermediates for pharmaceutical applications.
How did it start?
What do we do now?
Today, Chr. Olesen’s Pharma division is divided into two business areas: APIs and Intermediates. We have offices in Denmark, Belgium, Brazil, Germany, and the USA and primarily distribute our products to Europe, Africa, Latin America, and the USA. The pharmaceutical business is currently led by Managing Partner Tobias Facklam.
Looking into the future
Our goal is to contionously meet the changing needs of our customers within the pharmaceutical industry. To achieve this, we carefully select high quality products and regularly monitor the market for new developments and product possibilities. We are confident that investing in innovation, quality, and customer service, we will continue to be a reliable distributor in the international pharmaceutical ingredients industry.
