ESPECIALIDADES FARMACÉUTICAS CENTRUM, S.A.
Centrum is a production plant for medicines and cosmetics that has Certificates of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) for both.

ASAC PHARMACEUTICAL INMUNOLOGY S.A.
Production plant for biological medicines and active substances with the "Certificate of compliance with good manufacturing practice for hyposensitising vaccines and skin test diagnostics".

The company is made up of a consolidated staff of approximately 400 people whose daily work aims to improve the health and quality of life of more than one million patients who benefit from our treatments every year, both domestically and abroad.

Asacpharma has five manufacturing plants to carry out its activity: two in Alicante, one in Murcia, one in Casablanca (Morocco) and another in Sao Paulo (Brazil). Furthermore, although its head offices are located in Alicante, it has representative offices in Madrid and in the main capitals of Latin America.

As a company with international projection, we distribute our products in more than 40 countries through seven subsidiaries and an international distribution network. Specifically, Asacpharma has six active companies in Latin America (Brazil, Mexico, Chile, Colombia, Guatemala and Paraguay) and one in Morocco. Our effort and work on the international level, led Asacpharma to be distinguished with the NOVA Award for Internationalization in 1998.

The NOVA Award is not the only one of the company’s many milestones. Thanks to the group’s strong research vocation, we have carried out a number of R & D projects. One of the most important was Project IBEROEKA 003: "Screening and isolation of pharmacologically active principles in Ibero-American plants", with which we became pioneers in the research of medicinal plants.

Moreover, we are proud to be part of BIOVAL, an Association of Companies and Entities of the BIO sector that encompasses the Biotechnology, Biomedicine and Bio-economy of the Valencian Community.

"An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest”. -Benjamin Franklin

For Asacpharma, the patient is our priority. Through our vaccines, medicines, food supplements and cosmetic products, we help to prevent and/or treat those who need it.

In our company, the patient always comes first. Through our vaccines, medicines and cosmetics, we help provide prevention and/or treatment for those who need it.

Our main mission is to become a national benchmark with a growing presence on the international market, recognized for the level of excellence and quality of our products and processes. Furthermore, we fully intend to become leaders in each and every therapeutic area in which we work, in order to be recognized as the best company to work with and invest in. At the same time, we have to build a sustainable business that provides innovative solutions, which is why our business strategy is based on different aspects:

• Increased innovation in R & D

We intend to become an internationally recognized pharmaceutical laboratory, its activity based on research and development of products that provide quality health solutions. The constantly changing dynamics of the pharmaceutical industry and scientific advances have made it necessary to diversify and seek alliances and acquisitions to grow the company. This has made it vital to establish collaborations on R & D projects with companies and/or universities (i.e., co-development).

• Own and third party manufacturing of vaccines, dermatological products and food supplements.

We actively seek out business opportunities for commercializing third-party products ("In- Licensing ") in Spain, Morocco and Latin America, in terms of both exclusivity and semi- exclusivity. This means that ASACPHARMA is systematically present at the main national and international events of Business Development.

Therefore, we believe our company contributes significantly to research and development, thereby making treatments increasingly specific and effective. But it is not only our work in R & D that makes our company grow; the excellent management of the company must also be taken into account, along with Asacpharma’s firm commitment with its employees, customers and suppliers.

Through our research and development of pharmaceutical and cosmetic products, at Asacpharma we seek to take care of people, both inside and out. This is the same aim of our Human Resources Department.
We are aware of the fact that our most valuable asset is our team, which is why we strive to attract, motivate and develop competent professionals.
We endeavor to form a solid, capable team and a dynamic work environment. First and foremost, however, we are a professional and human group, so the following principles take on special relevance:

• Professional development and growth
At Asacpharma we strive to enhance the professional development of our team, ensuring optimal learning for all our employees.
We also develop training plans that allow constant renewal and innovation.

• Flexibility
Asacpharma is committed to adaptability as a fundamental means for striking a balance between family and work life.
Our starting point is a new work culture that balances the work and personal spheres based on flexibility, respect and mutual commitment.
This principle focuses on holding onto talent and provides our team with a better quality of life.
