Vinge advises Meribel Pharma Solutions in connection with the sale of a production facility specialising in the manufacture of antibiotics to Apotek Produktion & Laboratorier AB ("APL").
The facility is located in Strängnäs and provides specialised expertise and comprehensive services, supporting the development and manufacturing of oral solids and with specialist infrastructure for beta-lactam production. APL, which is now acquiring the facility, is a wholly state-owned company with a social mission to develop and provide a medically appropriate and quality-assured range of extemporaneous medicines and stock preparations. The acquisition is an important step for the Swedish government in strengthening Sweden's preparedness and ensuring access to essential medicines in Sweden, particularly in crisis situations.
