The company has built the facility as part of its strategy to develop new Vitamin D analogues and highly potent APIs to complement the current product portfolio. It also hopes to develop business opportunities with new partners for contract research, product development and contract manufacturing. Around six people will initially work in the laboratory, but this will increase as more products are developed.
Dishman Netherlands currently offers vitamin D analogues such as alfacalcidol, calcifediol, calcitriol and dihydrotachysterol-2. Our other products include Vitamin D3 and D2, cholesterol and lanolin alcohols.
