Biofarma Group completes the acquisition of a controlling stake in EuroPharma Alliance, a Polish CDMO of dietary supplements, medical devices and cosmetics
The transaction adds a manufacturing platform in Poland and, together with the recent acquisition of EmergoPharm, establishes an integrated development and production hub for the Group in Central and Eastern Europe
Mereto di Tomba (Udine, Italy), November 9, 2026 – The Biofarma Group – a leading global nutraceuticals and cosmetics CDMO, focused on delivering to clients outstanding service, innovation and manufacturing excellence – announces that it has completed the acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of a 70% stake in EuroPharma Alliance Sp. z o.o. (“EuroPharma Alliance”) from its shareholders.
Headquartered in the Wroclaw area, Poland, EuroPharma Alliance is a contract development and manufacturing organisation active in dietary supplements, serving international pharmaceutical companies and consumer health brand owners across Europe. The company operates a production facility in Rzeplin with capabilities in softgel, tablets, capsules, powders, and liquids, supported by in-house development and regulatory teams.
The Acquisition represents a further step in the international growth strategy of the Biofarma Group. Following the acquisition of EmergoPharm, completed in September 2026, EuroPharma Alliance adds local manufacturing capacity in Poland, enabling the Group to combine agile product development with production close to clients in Central and Eastern Europe, one of the largest and fastest-growing nutraceutical markets in Europe.
In connection with the Acquisition, the Group drew €30 million under its existing €135 million revolving credit facility. The proceeds of the drawing are being applied to finance the Acquisition, as well as capital expenditure and general corporate purposes of the Group.
Following completion, EuroPharma Alliance’s founder, Piotr Jandziak, will retain a 30% stake in the company and will continue to be involved in its development, working closely with the Group to execute a shared growth plan.
“The acquisition of EuroPharma Alliance further strengthens our presence in Central and Eastern Europe and is a natural complement to EmergoPharm. With a manufacturing platform in Poland, we can now combine agile development with local production, offering clients in the region a complete service from concept to finished product. This is fully in line with our commitment to service, innovation and excellence.” – Alberto Urli, CEO of Biofarma Group
“Joining the Biofarma Group opens a new chapter for EuroPharma Alliance. Biofarma’s scale, scientific expertise and international client base will allow us to accelerate our growth and invest further in our capabilities, while preserving the flexibility and customer focus that have always defined our company.” – Piotr Jandziak, Founder and CEO of EuroPharma Alliance
Biofarma remains strongly focused on strengthening its position as a leading global nutraceutical and cosmetics CDMO, developing innovative solutions and technologies to improve people’s health and well-being in a sustainable way.
