Enzymatica signs agreement with Qualia Pharma for Greece and Cyprus
Enzymatica has entered into a distribution agreement with Qualia Pharma for marketing and sales of ColdZyme® Mouth Spray on the Greek and Cypriot market. The background to the agreement is that Qualia Pharma acquired Life NLB on March 1, 2018. The distribution agreement that Enzymatica previously had with Life NLB is now being transferred to Qualia Pharma.
"We see a clear advantage to signing an agreement with Qualia Pharma, which is a larger market participant and can conduct a stronger marketing campaign for ColdZyme in Greece and on Cyprus," says Fredrik Lindberg, CEO of Enzymatica.
"We see excellent potential for ColdZyme in our market, given the successful launch in other European markets. We consider being able to sell a product that attacks the cause of colds - viruses - to be a major advantage compared with most cold products, which are aimed at alleviating symptoms," says Fotis Sakellaridis, CEO of Qualia Pharma.
The Greek and Cypriot cold products market, which is estimated to be worth SEK 670 million, is a stable market. ColdZyme began to be sold to pharmacies in both markets in 2017. In 2018 a launch was initiated targeting consumers, pharmacists and healthcare personnel.
Qualia Pharma is a Greek pharmaceutical company active in pharmaceuticals, nutritional supplements and medical devices. The company was founded in 2009 and conducts research in fields such as osteoarthritis, diseases of the central nervous system (CNS) such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, and biological products for development of drug molecules. Qualia Pharma conducts research in collaboration with universities and research institutes. The company has 43 employees and sales of SEK 50 million.
