Xellia Pharmaceuticals

Just wrapped up an incredible experience at CPHI Worldwide in Milan. Attending without a booth this year was an interesting experience and aligned perfectly with our mindset—being agile and exploring new ways of engaging. Even so, we held over 120 meetings and hosted a memorable dinner event with key customers and partners. “This was a fantastic opportunity to witness our reputation as a world leader in fermentation-based non-beta-lactam anti-infectives unfold. The event once again highlighted how we are uniquely positioned in the industry, and I couldn’t be more excited about what lies ahead. We are committed to pushing boundaries and staying focused on our mission to provide life-saving treatments”, says Michael Kocher, CEO. Looking forward to keeping these conversations going!

We are pleased to announce that the divestment of our US institutional business to Hikma Pharmaceuticals has been completed, following clearance under applicable US antitrust laws. The transaction includes the Cleveland, Ohio, USA manufacturing site, the in-market institutional, commercial portfolio based in Chicago, Illinois, USA, the drug product R&D pipeline, and the majority of our R&D site in Zagreb, Croatia. The divestment follows a strategic decision to concentrate on the manufacturing and commercializing of fermentation-based anti-infective APIs (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients) combined with a selected offering of FDFs (Finished Dosage Forms) to the global markets via the B2B sales channel. Michael Kocher, CEO at Xellia Pharmaceuticals, said:  "This is a defining milestone in the transformation journey we embarked on less than a year ago. By focusing on our core strengths, we are positioning Xellia for a robust and prosperous future, enabling us to continue to deliver life-saving products to patients worldwide."

Exciting update! The US Court has lifted the rules imposed on our Cleveland, Ohio facility! Originally set by the FDA and the former owner, the rules were specific to the site's manufacturing operations. Since Xellia took over in 2015, we've been following these rules closely, undergoing regular inspections. And in March 2024, we got a thumbs-up from the FDA, showing we're doing things right. Our Cleveland team has done an amazing job, and we're grateful for their hard work. This is a big win for us and shows our commitment to quality. Let’s keep up the great work!

Last autumn, six colleagues from our Copenhagen, Oslo and Zagreb sites visited SOS Children’s Villages in Eldoret, Kenya. It was a privilege to meet the families who we have helped through our nine-year long corporate partnership and employee-driven initiatives. During our visit, we connected with families enrolled in the Family Strengthening Program. Witnessing how these initiatives empower vulnerable families to build stable homes and care for their children was truly inspiring. By providing start-up capital and solar support, we've helped boost income-generating activities and improve living conditions. Seeing the impact of our collaborative efforts left us feeling grateful! A heartfelt thank you to SOS Children’s Villages Kenya for hosting us, and to SOS Children's Villages Denmark for our fruitful partnership! #fundraising #givingbacktosociety #SOSChildrensVillages #xellia #SOSBørnebyerne

At Xellia, we aim to cultivate an inclusive environment where everyone, regardless of gender, can thrive and contribute to our success. Today, as we commemorate International Women's Day, we reflect not only on our progress but also on the work that still lies ahead. There is still some way to go to reach our ambitious ESG targets to drive greater gender equality in Xellia, including a commitment that by 2030, 45% of managerial positions at Xellia will be held by women. Today, our global gender diversity stands at 43% female and 57% male, with female representation among our leaders at 36%. We seek to improve this balance as we recognize women's pivotal role in driving progress and excellence in Xellia. Research shows that companies with diverse leadership teams outperform their counterparts – greater gender diversity among senior leaders fosters innovation and ultimately leads to increased profitability. "I am proud of Xellia's talented women workforce, from the 'shop floor' to our leadership teams. We are committed to fostering a culture of equity and inclusivity at all Xellia sites. Embracing gender diversity is essential to remaining a relevant and attractive place to work - it's simply the right thing to do," Michael Kocher, CEO, says. #IWD2024 #InspireInclusion #DiversityEquityInclusion #genderequality #xellia

Today, on International Day of Women and Girls in Science, we celebrate the incredible contributions of women in #STEM fields. It is a reminder to break down gender barriers and promote equal access to participate in science. With our 120-year heritage in the pharma industry, focusing on the reliable supply of high-quality anti-infectives and critical care therapies, Xellia is deeply rooted in science and committed to diversity, equity and inclusion. We recognize women’s pivotal role in driving progress and excellence within our organization. While we celebrate Xellia’s female talents, we use this occasion to highlight the unique achievement of two female inventors in our R&D department. They share insights into being an inventor and advice to other women in pursuit of a career in science. Barbara Fumić, Xellia Zagreb – “Curiosity has been the greatest drive in my career. I believe that only those who look for a solution will find one. For me, being an inventor means being unique and different in a world of conformity. If you always try to be normal, you will never know how amazing you can be.” Anita Bevetek Moćnik, Xellia Zagreb – “You can work diligently in the industry for years and still be humbled by new projects – this is fascinating. My advice? Not everything is as it appears at first sight, either in science or in life. When a bump occurs on the way, take a moment to consider if there is a lesson to learn or if you should adjust your plan. When deciding, breathe and be brave to stay true to yourself!” Join us in celebrating our #WomenInScience – their accomplishments and dedication! #InternationalDayofWomenandGirlsinScience #DiversityEquityInclusion #stemcareers #xellia
