MOSCOW (MRC) -- Evonik and Brenntag agree to cooperate on hydrogen peroxide and peracetic acid for pharma and cosmetics markets, as per the producer's press release.
Evonik Industries is introducing new hydrogen peroxide and peracetic acid grades for drug, medical products, and cosmetics manufacturers in response to increasingly more stringent regulatory requirements in these close-to-consumer industry segments. In Europe, customers will receive tailored solutions, enabling them to provide end consumers with safe and fully certified products.
In addition to their existing product portfolio for the cosmetics industry, Evonik is expanding its spectrum for the pharma industry by offering active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) produced on the basis of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP). As the central point of production, Wei?enstein in Austria is currently being certified according to GMP guidelines. This will make Evonik the first hydrogen peroxide manufacturer in Europe with a fully back integrated production. To date, the site is certified according to ISO 9001, 14001, and 13485.
Brenntag Europe, Middle East and Africa is Evonik’s partner in many European countries for the marketing of hydrogen peroxide and peracetic acid product portfolios in the Personal & Health Care market segment. Product marketing will be launched in the middle of the year, spanning a total of 25 countries in Europe.
As MRC informed earlier, Evonik Industries in June completed the acquisition of Monarch Catalyst (Dombivli, India). All of Evonik’s future catalyst activities in India will be operated through the newly acquired company. Financial details of the transaction have not been disclosed.
