Sanofi Nears Decision on $1.6B Upgrade For Frankfurt Insulin Plant

Author: Vandana Singh | July 01, 2024 11:13am

French drugmaker Sanofi is poised to commit between 1.3 billion euros and 1.5 billion euros ($1.4 billion – $1.6 billion) to enhancing its insulin production site in Frankfurt, Germany.

The site in Frankfurt’s Hoechst district is known for producing the company’s insulin brand, Lantus.

This move comes after initial plans to shift Lantus production to France were reconsidered.

The decision to invest in the Frankfurt site represents a significant victory for Germany’s healthcare sector.

Germany’s ruling coalition has been actively working to attract healthcare investments. In February, Daiichi Sankyo announced plans to spend around 1 billion euros to advance its precision cancer drug work near Munich.

Eli Lilly (NYSE:LLY) also committed 2.3 billion euros last November to produce obesity and diabetes medications in Germany.

Sanofi’s investment is expected to bolster its production capabilities and reinforce its commitment to maintaining a strong manufacturing presence in Germany.

Reuters noted that the upgrade will likely enhance Lantus’s supply chain stability and support Sanofi’s long-term strategic goals.

In May, Sanofi announced an investment of more than €1 billion to create new bioproduction capacity at its French sites in Vitry-sur-Seine (Val de Marne), Le Trait (Seine-Maritime), and Lyon Gerland (Rhône)
