Sanofi Bangladesh Limited is renamed Synovia Pharma PLC

Beximco Pharmaceuticals Limited ("Beximco Pharma", "BPL" or "the Company"), the fast-growing manufacturer of generic pharmaceutical products and active pharmaceutical ingredients, announces that it has changed the name of the recently acquired subsidiary, Sanofi Bangladesh Limited, to Synovia Pharma PLC, effective from 1 April, 2022.

Sanofi Bangladesh Limited was part of the global biopharmaceutical company Sanofi S.A. before the acquisition of a majority stake in the company (54.6%) by Beximco Pharma on 1 October 2021. The change of name has been made in compliance with the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement between the Company and the Sellers.

The name "Synovia" is derived from the French word Synergie, meaning "collaboration" and the Latin word Via, meaning "path". Synovia Pharma will continue to manufacture, market and import Sanofi S.A. products, ensuring continued supply for patients in Bangladesh across therapeutic areas such as cardiology, diabetes, oncology, dermatology and CNS. These treatments, as well as opportunities to introduce Sanofi's future global brands, will drive future growth of Beximco Pharma by expanding its addressable market and reinforcing the Company's commitment to ensure access to breakthrough therapies and affordable medicines.

Managing Director of Beximco Pharma, Nazmul Hassan MP, commented:

"Following the acquisition of a majority stake in Sanofi Bangladesh, we have been focused on integrating its people and products. By renaming the business Synovia Pharma, we mark the next exciting step in this transition. Under this new name, we are committed to maintaining Synovia Pharma's established reputation for high-quality products and to delivering affordable treatments and breakthrough therapies to the growing market in Bangladesh. We are also excited to maximize the potential of Beximco Pharma's strengthened position in key therapeutic areas to drive long-term growth."
