SeQuent had originally announced signing of the binding agreement to acquire Nourrie on 16th December 2021.

The acquisition also provides Alivira complete control over the value-chain of Transuin, a Ractopamine based swine product currently manufactured at Nourrie, which is at present the 3rd largest product in Alivira Brazil’s portfolio. With access to Alivira’s own API manufactured in the USFDA approved plant at Vizag, and extension of product range with upcoming registration approvals, Alivira intends to fast-track growth for Transuin franchise in both Brazil and other Latam markets. The expansion of swine and poultry segment will be further catalysed with nearly 5 new product launches expected in the near term.
