History

Recip 1995-2007

In March 1995, Thomas Eldered and Lars Backsell conducted a management buyout of a Pharmacia solid dose tablet manufacturing facility in Årsta, Stockholm and formed the company “Recip”. The facility had 130 employees and a turnover of SEK 220 million. [1] The company continued to manufacture pharmaceutical products for Pharmacia during a transition period while it also developed its own products. Recip also began providing contract manufacturing services to other pharmaceutical companies.

In 1997, Recip was believed to be the first pharmaceutical company in the world to certify its entire operations according to the ISO 14001 environmental management system. [2] From 1998, the company began to grow by acquiring facilities in Sweden. The brand name “Recipharm” was established in 2001 for the growing contract manufacturing part of Recip's business. In 2007, the Recip part of the business and the company's own portfolio were divested to Meda. [3]

Recipharm 2007-present

Following the sale of Recip, the company focused on its contract manufacturing business. The capital from the sale of Recip was used to make further acquisitions – initially in Europe and later the US and India. Acquisitions were used to broaden the company's offering and customer base, and to enter new markets.

Recipharm became a public listed company on Nasdaq Stockholm in 2014. [4] Between 2014 and 2019, Recipharm's sales grew by an average of more than 30 per cent annually, including a combination of internal growth and acquisitions.[ citation needed ] In 2020, Recipharm completed its largest acquisition to date. The £505 million takeover of UK-based Consort Medical added around 2,000 employees and ten European facilities to the company, as well as new device capabilities.

In February 2021, Private equity firm EQT acquired Recipharm [5] for $2.1 billion. In March 2021, Mark Funk joined Recipharm as CEO, replacing Thomas Eldered who remains on the board of directors. [5]
