Biocon buys Acacia Life Sciences’ manufacturing unit

Biotechnology major Biocon said it has acquired a manufacturing unit of Vishakapatnam based Acacia Life Sciences for an undisclosed amount.
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved facility would help the Bengaluru-based company in vertically integrating its oncology related abbreviated new drug application (ANDA) filings in the future.

The facility, which is spread over 45,000 square feet, was commissioned in 2008 and currently APIs produced in the plant are sold both in domestic as well international markets.
