Axyntis — Company Profile

Axyntis Group
Bioparc
8, rue de la Croix Jarry
75013 Paris
France

Tel.: +33 (0)1 44 06 77 00
Fax: +33 (0)1 44 06 76 99
Email: contact@axyntis.com
Website: http://www.axyntis.com/

Leading fine and specialty chemicals company, French-based, Axyntis independent group with its 350 employees offers a deep rooted technical experience — the history of dyes activity started in 1881 at Saint-Marcel and the history of fine chemicals in 1879 at Grasse under the name "Schmoller et Bompard" for perfumery. This group designs innovative chemical processes and offers project management in close relationship with its customers.

Axyntis group has two divisions. One is dedicated to dyes: Steiner. One is dedicated to fine chemicals: Axyntis fine chemicals. Each division has its specificity even if they share the same safety and environment policy as well as common services to develop synergies.

The dyes division, Steiner, is a synthetic dye producer since 1881. Dyes are formulated for petroleum, oils, paper, cardboard, leather, textile, wood, ink, plus various other applications. 80 people are working for Steiner in France, St Marcel, and produce 8000 tons of formulated products per year. Steiner R&D Laboratory — 10 people — formulates and develops new technologies for the future of our customers. Steiner customers are located in Europe, America, Africa, and in the entire Mediterranean Basin. Concerned by environment protection, Steiner is equipped with a water treatment station. Steiner is certified ISO 9001 and ISO 14001.

Steiner has also a branch based in UK under the name of Steiner UK which operates for customers locally and brings an internal second source to secure the supply chain of its European customers.

The fine chemicals division, Axyntis fine chemicals, along with capacity of 380 m3 under cGMP, is split in four different plants, each of them having its own specificity:

These plants are complementary and enable a safety supply chain solution to the customers including internal back up strategy:
  • Orgapharm is designed for key advanced intermediates and APIs for Pharmaceuticals industry and LCD under exclusive relationship;
  • Centipharm is designed for exclusive key intermediates and generic API with its own regulatory support (US and European DMF and CEP);
  • All’Chem is designed for key intermediates for electronic, agro and specialty;
  • Synthexim is designed for key intermediates for pharma chemicals.
Both Orgapharm and Centipharm bring in addition Ramp;&D centers and Pilot capabilities which make these two plants a "one stop shop" for customers with a unique place for efficient transition phase between R&D and production (process development; scale up).

The four plants are Seveso II and two of them are high level compliant: this reflects the ability to perform complex chemistry and specific reactions that require high level of technical competence and specialized know-how.

With a competitive cost structure and a business network extended recently in the US and Asia, Axyntis group offers the best balance between expertise in specific reactions, flexibility, cost efficiency and time management for projects of innovative and fast growing companies in Europe, North America and Asia.

Ipsen is an innovation driven international specialty pharmaceutical group, which currently markets more than 20 drugs, employing nearly 4,000 people around the world.

Its development strategy is based on a complementary combination of specialised products, which are growth drivers, in the Group’s targeted therapeutic areas (oncology, endocrinology and neuromuscular disorders) and primary care products, which help finance its Research and development activities. The location of its four Research and Development centres (Paris, Boston, Barcelona, London) and its peptide and protein engineering platform give the Group a competitive edge in gaining access to leading university research teams and highly qualified personnel. More than 700 people in R&D are dedicated to the discovery and development of innovative drugs for patient care. This strategy is also supported by an active partnership policy.

Ipsen has industrial sites in France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Switzerland, China and the United States, and plantations and leaf-drying facilities in France, China and the United States. Each of the Group’s manufacturing facilities focuses on a particular technology to maximise its operational efficiency. For instance, the Dublin site (Ireland) is devoted to the purification and formulation of proteins, while the Dreux plant (France) specialises in the manufacturing and packaging of high volumes of oral formulations.

Furthermore, Ipsen promotes continuous productivity improvement of its manufacturing processes. Upstream efforts by manufacturing, development and research teams promote mutual enhancement. This integration is a necessary step towards improving product quality, guaranteeing patient safety and developing optimal manufacturing processes within the Group’s cost optimisation rationale.

History
The Ipsen story began when Laboratoires Beaufour was founded in 1929 by Dr. Henri Beaufour. In 1969 the Institut Henri Beaufour research centre was founded. In 1975, IPSEN was created (Institut de Produits de Synthese et d'Extraction Naturelle). Ipsen (Greece) was formed in 1980, and Ipsen International was created in 1981 in London to coordinate clinical and regulatory affairs, followed by Ipsen in Belgium in 1982. Fondation Ipsen was founded in France in 1983. In 1986, Laboratoires Astier was acquired and Ipsen Biotech was formed, and in 1987 the first Asian office was opened. 1986 saw the acquisition of LASA Laboratories in Spain (now called Ipsen Pharma), and expansion into the USA. In 1994, Speywood was acquired in the UK (now named Ipsen). In 2003, Beaufour Ipsen changed its name to Ipsen.

Ipsen's strategy relies on three factors: operational excellence in selected therapeutic areas, a policy of active alliances both in R&D and operations, and an effort to expand the international scope of the business. Ipsen carries out R&D, Formulation and Production, and Marketing. Ipsen is the fifth largest French pharmaceutical company. Ipsen operates from four R&D sites: Biotechnology in the USA (Boston), International Clinical Development, Business Development and Licensing in the UK (London), Formulation Research in Spain (Barcelona) and therapeutic agents of low molecular weight in France (Paris). The company's subsidiaries are located in Europe, the USA, and Asia/Australia. In the rest of the world, Ipsen operates through commercial partnerships.
