This partnership will deliver improved availability of non-GMP pharmaceutical intermediates, expanded coverage in Europe through Brenntag’s logistics and commercial expertise, quality assurance aligned with SEQENS standards, ensuring traceability and performance.

This collaboration enables to provide European pharmaceutical players with a reliable and competitive solution for their non-GMP intermediate needs, while optimizing lead times and flexibility.

“This partnership is part of our strategy to stay close to our customers and reinforce our presence in the European market. It enables us to respond quickly to market demands while maintaining our high standards of quality and safety,” said Alexandra Ngawa Zenang, Business Line Manager Pharma at SEQENS.
