Sandoz has completed the acquisition of Just-Evotec Biologics EU SAS, enhancing its biosimilars manufacturing capabilities and positioning itself to capture significant market opportunities.

Overview of the Target

Sandoz has successfully completed the acquisition of Just-Evotec Biologics EU SAS (JEB SAS) from Evotec SE. This strategic acquisition encompasses the development and manufacturing facility located in Toulouse, France, along with an indefinite license for advanced continuous-manufacturing technology tailored for biosimilars. This move is a significant step that reinforces Sandoz's commitment to its biosimilars strategy, augments its internal drug substance development and manufacturing capabilities, and enhances operational efficiencies.

The acquisition of JEB SAS not only solidifies Sandoz's position within the industry but also prepares the company to leverage an estimated >USD 300 billion market opportunity stemming from the loss of exclusivity (LoE) of several key biologics in the coming decade. Richard Saynor, CEO of Sandoz, emphasized the necessity of biosimilars as a crucial component of healthcare and expressed the company’s ambition to be the premier leader in this rapidly evolving market.
