About the Deal

Novartis has entered into an agreement with Siegfried Holding AG, a leading Contract Development & Manufacturing Organization. Siegfried will acquire the Novartis manufacturing sites at Barberà del Vallès and El Masnou (Spain) and will become a key supplier to Novartis.

The Novartis portfolio is changing. As biomedical research advances and breakthrough therapies become available, Novartis is adjusting its capacity and capabilities to a new set of requirements.

Switzerland-based Siegfried will take over responsibility for all manufacturing activities at Barberà del Vallès and El Masnou production centers and both sites remain important supply points for Novartis.
