Recipharm

Recipharm is a leading global Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization (CDMO) in the pharmaceutical industry, specializing in end-to-end development and manufacturing services for a wide range of dosage forms, including solids, semi-solids, liquids, sterile injectables, biologics, and advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMPs) such as plasmid DNA, xRNA, and viral vectors.^[1] Founded in 1995 through a management buyout of a solid-dose facility in Stockholm, Sweden, the company has expanded significantly via organic growth and over 30 acquisitions, establishing itself as the fourth-largest CDMO worldwide.^[1] Headquartered in Sweden, Recipharm operates 17 facilities across nine countries in Europe, India, Israel, and North America, enabling it to serve pharmaceutical and biotech clients with a focus on operational excellence, scientific expertise, and customer-centric solutions.^[1] In recent years, Recipharm has strengthened its capabilities through initiatives like the October 2025 inauguration of state-of-the-art parenteral development and sterility laboratories at its Bengaluru facility, enhancing its global expertise in sterile manufacturing and supporting innovative therapies in high-potency small molecules, lyophilization, and pre-filled syringe technologies.^[2] The company became privately owned by the private equity firm EQT in March 2021, allowing continued investment in sustainable growth and high-quality standards that have built long-term trust with clients.^[1]

Overview

Founding and Corporate Structure

Recipharm was founded in 1995 through a management buyout led by Thomas Eldered and Lars Backsell, who acquired a solid-dose manufacturing facility in Årsta, Stockholm, from Pharmacia to prevent its closure.^[3] The new entity, initially named Recip, began operations on March 1, 1995, with approximately 130 employees and a portfolio of around 20 established Pharmacia products, providing immediate revenue stability and market credibility in the Swedish pharmaceutical sector.^[1] This buyout marked the inception of a company dedicated to pharmaceutical production, leveraging the facility's 50-year legacy and high brand recognition.^[3] Headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden, Recipharm operates as a global contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) specializing in tailored services for pharmaceutical companies, including drug formulation, development, and production across various dosage forms.^[1] As of 2024, the company employs approximately 5,200 people worldwide, supporting its operations through a network of facilities in nine countries.^[4] Its core business model emphasizes operational excellence, scientific expertise, and end-to-end solutions that enable clients to outsource complex manufacturing needs while maintaining regulatory compliance and supply chain reliability.^[1] Key structural milestones include the establishment of the Recipharm brand in 2001, initially for the expanding contract manufacturing division of Recip, which allowed the company to differentiate its CDMO offerings from its proprietary product business.^[3] In 2007, following the divestiture of its own product portfolio to Meda, Recipharm underwent a full corporate rename and pivoted exclusively to a CDMO model, solidifying its identity as a specialized service provider in the pharmaceutical industry.^[3]

Financial Performance and Ownership

Recipharm's financial performance has shown steady growth in recent years, with net sales reaching SEK 11,069 million in 2020, reflecting a 48% increase from the previous year driven by acquisitions and organic expansion.^[5] By 2024, the company reported record-breaking revenue of €827 million, marking a 7% year-over-year increase attributed to strong performance in its core CDMO segments and biologics contracts.^[6] The company was publicly listed on Nasdaq Stockholm in 2014, enabling broader access to capital markets during its expansion phase.^[7] However, following its acquisition, Recipharm was delisted from the exchange in March 2021.^[8] Ownership transitioned to private equity control when EQT acquired Recipharm in February 2021 for SEK 24.9 billion (approximately US$2.9 billion) through its EQT IX fund, via Roar BidCo AB, marking a strategic shift to support long-term growth initiatives.^[9]^[10] As of 2025, the company remains privately held by EQT, with the firm continuing to oversee its operations and strategic direction.^[9] Recent financial strategies have included divestitures to streamline operations, such as the sale of seven sites in September 2024 to Blue Wolf Capital Partners, encompassing facilities in Sweden (Höganäs, Karlskoga, Solna, Strängnäs, and Uppsala), France, and Spain, which contributed to a projected revenue decline in 2025.^[11] These moves are expected to yield low to mid-single-digit revenue growth from 2026 to 2028, focusing on higher-margin core areas.^[12] In September 2025, Fitch Ratings affirmed Recipharm's Long-Term Issuer Default Rating at 'B' with a stable outlook, citing improved EBITDA margins and debt management post-divestments.^[12]

History

Origins as Recip (1995-2007)

In 1995, Thomas Eldered and Lars Backsell, both executives at Pharmacia, led a management buyout of the company's solid-dose tablet manufacturing facility in Årsta, near Stockholm, Sweden, to prevent its closure and preserve approximately 130 jobs.^[3]^[13] This transaction, completed on March 1 after nearly a year of negotiations and secured through a bank loan, established Recip AB as an independent generic drug manufacturer, initially retaining Pharmacia's production contracts and inheriting a portfolio of around 20 established pharmaceutical products.^[3]^[1] With starting revenues of SEK 220 million and a workforce of about 140, the company focused on producing oral solid dosage forms, such as tablets, while exploring opportunities in product development, including the creation of a folic acid supplement through a newly established research department.^[3]^[13] Early operations faced significant challenges, as several initial business strategies, including attempts to expand into new product lines, failed within the first two years, prompting a strategic pivot toward contract manufacturing services for other pharmaceutical firms.^[3] By 1997, Recip had positioned itself as one of the first contract manufacturing organizations (CMOs) in Europe, phasing out remaining Pharmacia ties and attracting external clients with its expertise in high-quality generic production.^[3] Growth accelerated through targeted expansions in the Stockholm area, including the 1998 acquisition of a facility in Höganäs for enhanced capacity and the 2002 purchase of a site in Strängnäs to bolster sterile manufacturing capabilities, alongside the 2004 acquisition in Karlskoga for specialized handling of controlled substances.^[3] These moves solidified Recip's foundational expertise in oral solids and early sterile products, enabling it to navigate regulatory complexities and build a reputation for reliability in the generics sector.^[3] A key development occurred in 2001 when Recip introduced the "Recipharm" brand specifically for its burgeoning contract manufacturing division, distinguishing it from the company's own generic product operations and signaling a deeper commitment to CDMO services.^[3] By 2007, as contract activities dominated revenue streams—contributing to overall sales reaching SEK 2,569 million and an employee base exceeding 1,000—Recip sold off its proprietary products unit and fully transitioned toward a contract-focused model.^[3] This period also saw international steps, such as the 2007 acquisition of a sterile facility in Monts, France, which expanded sterile expertise beyond oral solids, while domestic facilities in the Stockholm region remained the operational core.^[3]

Expansion and Public Listing (2007-2021)

Following the divestment of its proprietary product portfolio to Meda in 2007, Recipharm fully committed to its contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) model, marking a strategic pivot toward serving external pharmaceutical clients exclusively.^[3] This shift enabled initial organic growth alongside targeted acquisitions to broaden capabilities in sterile manufacturing and solid dosage forms. In the same year, Recipharm acquired the Monts facility in France from AstraZeneca, gaining expertise in sterile dosage forms, and the Ashton site in the UK, which enhanced solid-dose manufacturing and established a foothold in the British market.^[3] These moves supported early expansion beyond Sweden, with revenue beginning to scale through diversified service offerings.^[14] The period from 2008 to 2013 saw further consolidation of core competencies via acquisitions and internal investments. In 2009, Recipharm purchased the Fontaine site in France from Solvay, adding tablet and encapsulation production, while acquiring a biotech laboratory in Södertälje, Sweden, to initiate entry into biologics development.^[3] By 2010, the acquisition of Wasserburger Arzneimittelwerk in Germany bolstered aseptic filling and lyophilization capabilities, strengthening its position in injectable pharmaceuticals.^[3]^[14] Organic growth complemented these efforts, with the company integrating operations and launching initiatives like a Code of Conduct to align with global standards, setting the stage for broader market penetration.^[3] Recipharm's transition to public markets occurred in 2014 with its initial public offering (IPO) on Nasdaq Stockholm, priced at SEK 78 per share on April 3, enabling access to capital for accelerated expansion.^[15]^[14] The IPO funded immediate acquisitions, including Lusomedicamenta in Portugal for multi-purpose manufacturing and Corvette Pharmaceuticals in Italy for sterile injectables and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).^[3]^[14] Post-IPO, revenue grew from SEK 3,389 million in 2014 to SEK 7,457 million by 2019, driven by a compound annual growth rate exceeding 30 percent through enhanced service platforms in development, manufacturing, and packaging.^[3]^[14] Subsequent years featured strategic acquisitions to deepen therapeutic expertise and geographic reach. In 2015, Recipharm acquired OnTarget Chemistry in Sweden, entering preclinical drug development services.^[14] The 2016 purchases of Nitin Lifesciences and a Bengaluru facility in India expanded sterile injectables and multi-purpose operations in emerging markets, while Mitim in Italy and Kemwell in Sweden further diversified capabilities.^[3]^[14] By 2018, the acquisition of the Holmes Chapel site in the UK from Sanofi reinforced inhalation product manufacturing, aligning with growing demand for respiratory therapies.^[3]^[14] These integrations propelled Recipharm into advanced therapies, including 2020 partnerships with Moderna for mRNA vaccine fill-finish and Arcturus Therapeutics for COVID-19 vaccine production, building on its biologics foundation.^[14] A pivotal milestone came in 2020 with the £505 million acquisition of Consort Medical, completed in February, which integrated inhalation drug delivery devices and elevated Recipharm to one of the top five global CDMOs by capability and scale.^[16]^[14] This deal, Recipharm's largest to date, contributed to record revenue of SEK 11,069 million for the year, a 48 percent increase from 2019, reflecting robust demand amid the global health crisis.^[5]^[14] The same year marked Recipharm's 25th anniversary since its founding in 1995, celebrating growth from 130 employees to over 8,000 across more than 30 facilities.^[1]^[3] By late 2020, a takeover bid from EQT led to delisting in early 2021, transitioning Recipharm back to private ownership.^[14]

Private Era and Strategic Shifts (2021-present)

In 2021, Recipharm was acquired by EQT, a private equity firm, which led to the company's delisting from Nasdaq Stockholm in March of that year, marking its transition to private ownership.^[17] This shift allowed for a more focused strategic direction under private equity backing, emphasizing long-term growth in core contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) services. Following the acquisition, Marc Funk assumed the role of CEO, steering initial post-public adaptations until his transition to the board of directors in late 2023.^[18] In January 2024, Greg Behar succeeded Funk as CEO, bringing expertise from Nestlé Health Science to prioritize customer-centric innovation and operational efficiency.^[18] Under Behar's leadership, Recipharm executed key strategic divestitures to streamline its portfolio and concentrate on high-value segments. In April 2024, the company completed the spin-out of its inhaled and nasal drug delivery business into Bespak, a standalone entity backed by EQT, enabling specialized focus on drug-device combinations while allowing Recipharm to redirect resources toward biologics and advanced therapies.^[19] Later, in September 2024, Recipharm finalized the sale of seven non-core oral solid dosage (OSD) manufacturing and development sites—located in Sweden, France, and Spain—to Blue Wolf Capital Partners, further refining its asset base for competitive positioning in biologics and sterile manufacturing.^[20] These moves contributed to improved financial flexibility, with divestiture proceeds supporting targeted investments. Building on this refocused strategy, Recipharm's advanced biologics division, ReciBioPharm, drove significant growth in 2024 by securing over 140 new contracts across modalities such as RNA, plasmid DNA, viral vectors, and live biotherapeutics, underscoring its expanding role in complex drug development.^[6] In the first half of 2025, ReciBioPharm advanced its xRNA platform, achieving breakthroughs in continuous manufacturing that reduced RNA production timelines and enhanced scalability for nucleic acid-based therapies.^[21] The company entered 2025 with robust momentum in continuous manufacturing processes and high-potency product capabilities, including expanded development for potent active pharmaceutical ingredients (HPAPIs) to meet rising demand for targeted therapies.^[6] A notable partnership expansion occurred in June 2025, when ReciBioPharm deepened its collaboration with the University of Oxford to manufacture two malaria vaccine candidates (R78C and RH5.1) for Phase 1/2 clinical trials, reinforcing Recipharm's commitment to global health initiatives through biologics expertise.^[22] In October 2025, Recipharm secured a major additional grant to develop AI-enabled manufacturing technologies, aiming to accelerate a digital next-generation platform that reduces production costs and lead times.^[23]

Recipharm operates a global network of 17 facilities across nine countries, spanning Europe (including Sweden, France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, and Spain), India, Israel, and the United States, enabling localized support for pharmaceutical development and manufacturing needs.^[36]^[37] The company's headquarters is located in Stockholm, Sweden, serving as the central hub for strategic oversight and operations. Key sites include the Yavne facility in Israel, which specializes in new chemical entity (NCE) and active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) development and small-scale manufacturing; the Bengaluru site in India, focused on multi-purpose development and large-scale production; and sterile injectables capabilities at facilities in Kaysersberg, France, for blow-fill-seal and aseptic filling, as well as in Sweden for parenteral and sterile processing.^[1]^[38]^[39]^[40] The company's expansion has been significantly driven by over 30 acquisitions, with a notable surge of three in 2022 to enhance capabilities in advanced therapeutics and biologics. These include the acquisition of GenIbet in Portugal in February 2022, which added expertise in plasmid DNA manufacturing and viral vector production for biologics drug substances. In April 2022, Recipharm completed two U.S.-based biologics acquisitions, including Arranta Bio, establishing platforms for advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMPs) in Boxborough, Massachusetts, and expanding the overall biologics footprint.^[41]^[42]^[43]^[44] In 2024, Recipharm undertook strategic divestments to streamline operations and concentrate on high-value areas such as sterile delivery and advanced biologics, including the sale of its 24% stake in the Indian joint venture with Nichepharm Lifesciences, restoring full ownership to the Indian partner. Additionally, the company divested seven smaller oral solid dosage (OSD) sites in Europe—located in Solna and Strängnäs in Sweden, Höganäs in Sweden, and others in France and Spain—to Blue Wolf Capital Partners in September 2024. These moves reduced the footprint in lower-margin segments and supported a sharper focus on core CDMO strengths.^[45]^[20]^[46] In February 2025, Recipharm expanded its product development capabilities with a new GMP-ready pilot-scale center for dry technologies, enhancing efficiency in solids and others. As announced in March 2025, the Wasserburg, Germany site increased capacity to over 60 million pre-filled syringes (PFS) and vials annually, alongside over 100 million ready-to-use sterile units, supporting record 2024 revenue growth.^[47]^[6]
