Phar­ma­to­ry and Vet­care – long last­ing part­ner­ship

Phar­ma­to­ry, based in Oulu, is a pri­vate, cus­tomer-ori­ent­ed com­pa­ny offer­ing small-mol­e­cule syn­the­sis, process research and devel­op­ment, and cGMP con­tract man­u­fac­tur­ing of active drug sub­stances. Phar­ma­to­ry has been an impor­tant part­ner for Vet­care, espe­cial­ly as a drug sub­stance man­u­fac­tur­er.

The close coop­er­a­tion of near­ly 20 years has been based on a part­ner­ship where both par­ties have com­ple­ment­ed each oth­er. Phar­ma­to­ry has brought phar­ma­ceu­ti­cal chem­istry exper­tise to the part­ner­ship, while Vet­care’s area of exper­tise is vet­eri­nary med­i­cine, drug reg­is­tra­tion process­es and infor­ma­tion on coun­try-spe­cif­ic require­ments.

Accord­ing to Phar­ma­to­ry Man­ag­ing Direc­tor Dr. Jaana Kar­jalainen, the coop­er­a­tion between Vet­care and Phar­ma­to­ry is based on shared val­ues such as trans­paren­cy, open­ness and hon­esty.

“We dis­cuss about all top­ics open­ly and peo­ple know each oth­er because we have been work­ing togeth­er for such a long time. We have built the trust over the years,” says Kar­jalainen.

Trans­paren­cy and hon­esty are impor­tant val­ues for Phar­ma­to­ry

“We don’t make promis­es we can’t keep. This is our way of doing things. Of course, there can be sur­pris­es in nat­ur­al sci­ence. In this case, we open­ly dis­cuss the sit­u­a­tion with the cus­tomer,” Kar­jalainen says.

Accord­ing to Vet­care’s founder and chair­man of the board, Kale­vi Heinonen, the long-last­ing coop­er­a­tion has pro­duced excel­lent results because both par­ties have shared the goals.

“A flex­i­ble and ambi­tious part­ner like Phar­ma­to­ry has been a pre­req­ui­site for the inter­na­tion­al suc­cess of Vet­care’s prod­uct inno­va­tions,” Heinonen thanks.

Accord­ing to Kar­jalainen, Vet­care has been like a fresh air in the very tra­di­tion­al vet­eri­nary med­i­cine busi­ness area. For the part­ner, the com­pa­ny’s vision to be a pio­neer, ¨Muz­zle ahead of oth­ers ¨, has been seen as a will to devel­op the indus­try and find miss­ing links from the mar­ket togeth­er with part­ners.

“Vet­care is a strong expert in vet­eri­nary med­i­cine, and they look ahead to what is need­ed in the vet­eri­nary med­i­cine mar­ket now and in the future. Vet­care is inno­v­a­tive and pro­gres­sive. We appre­ci­ate that in a part­ner,” Kar­jalainen sums up.
