A day after announcing $880 Million acquisition in the US, drug maker Lupin will acquire specialty product portfolio from German company Temmler Pharma for an undisclosed amount. Temmler business has a strong strategic fit with Lupin Hormosan business in Germany and enables Lupin to bring an enhanced specialty CNS portfolio to German market.
Established in 1917, Temmler is a part of Aenova Group, a pharmaceutical contract manufacturer. Hormosan, also a German Pharma company was acquired by Lupin in 2008. Based in Marburg, Germany, Temmler has a specialty portfolio of 13 products including key Central Nervous System products and specialty products that address rare disease areas like Myasthenia Gravis, Huntington disease as well as fast growing dermatology products for anti-wart treatment.

This is Lupin sixth acquisition in last 18 months. In February 2014, Lupin had acquired Netherland based Nanomi for an undisclosed amount. A month later, it acquired control of Mexican company Grin. In May this year, it bought Brazilian company Medquimica Industria Farmaceutica.

Earlier this month, Lupin acquired ZAO Bio Biocom in Russia, again for an undisclosed amount. On Thursday, it announced acquisition of New Jersey based generic drugs firm Gavis for $880 Million. Gavis is the largest overseas acquisition by an Indian pharma company in US.
