History

BCM (Boots Contract Manufacturing) originated as the in-house manufacturing arm of Boots The Chemist. Boots expanded the BCM business into Vitre, France (BCMC - BCM Cosmétique) and Dietzenbach, Germany (BCMK - BCM Kosmetik) with each factory focusing on particular portfolios. As well as manufacturing Boots' own brands of products, BCM would undertake contract manufacturing work for third party pharmaceutical and personal care companies.

In 2017 the now Global WBA (Walgreens Boots Alliance) sold its manufacturing plants to Fareva, a global contract manufacturing company. WBA and Fareva entered into a 10-year partnership agreement, whereby Fareva would be WBA's partner of choice for product manufacturing.
