Pharmaceutical Ingredients

What DKSH can do for you

With our long-standing business contacts and strategic market insight, we develop new and alternative sources for innovative high-performance pharmaceutical formulation and pharmaceutical synthesis that help drive your business success. Through our comprehensive global network, which gives instant access to markets around the world, we provide responsible and traceable sourcing of hard-to-find active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), excipients and intermediates.

We help you to find materials that fit your products, provide toll and custom manufacturing as well as finished forms. We provide detailed market information, quality management, established product registration, supplier auditing, supplier certification processes, quality control and advice on local and international shipment and packaging regulations. Our market insight and broad overview enables us to scout for trends in products and technology in the pharmaceutical industry.

We provide all the required marketing and sales services as well as distribution and inbound logistics for companies lacking a global footprint. We have the capability to manage your entire supply chain, including import and export management, warehousing solutions and value-added services.
