Founded in 2006 and based near Pamplona, Spain, 3P Biopharmaceuticals employs 240 people and offers a complete biologics production service, from preclinical and clinical stages, all the way to full-scale commercial manufacturing.
Larka performed an Integrated Due Diligence to support Keensight Capital during the acquisition of 3P Biopharmaceuticals.
“After our successful collaboration last year on another transaction in this field, we are very proud to have worked again with Keensight on this new successful deal. 3P Biopharmaceuticals has a strong growth potential, with a wide range of services covering the whole value chain, from preclinical work to commercial supply.
