By combining our strengths, Roquette is poised to become the pharmaceutical industry’s go-to partner for the development of drug delivery solutions that contribute to improving, sustaining, and saving patients’ lives.”

The acquisition was originally announced in March of 2024. “We are pleased to reach an agreement with Roquette that will support Pharma Solutions’ next chapter of growth as a trusted partner for the pharmaceutical industry,” said Erik Fyrwald, CEO of IFF, in a press release. “This represents a great opportunity for our team and customers. Roquette is the ideal strategic partner for IFF Pharma Solutions, with whom it has complementary portfolio and innovation capabilities, and with whom it shares a culture of operational excellence.”
