Celltrion’s Truxima
Celltrion announced on Wednesday its global distributor Celltrion Healthcare signed a contract with multinational drugmaker Mundipharma to distribute Truxima in Colombia. Mundipharma has maintained its partnership with Celltrion in major European countries to market Truxima and another biosimilar Remsima.
At 1:18 p.m., Celltrion shares were up 0.82 percent to trade at 306,500 won on the main Kospi bourse.
The duo aims to launch Truxima in the first half of this year in Colombia. Separately, Celltrion plans to establish a local affiliate in the country by the end of June.
“We will prepare to launch Truxima also in the Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Nicaragua and Costa Rica in the first half of the year with an aim of expanding our market share in Latin America. By the end of this year, we will gradually expand sales to Ecuador and Peru,” said a Celltrion Healthcare official.
