On June 21, we finalized the acquisition of Globion's minority shares, bringing our stake to 100%. As planned, this transaction follows the acquisition of a 74% majority stake concluded on November 1, 2023.

Founded in 2005, as a joint venture between Suguna Group, one of the leading Indian poultry conglomerates, and Lohmann Animal Health, a German poultry vaccines specialist, Globion has developed robust know-how and expertise in the development, manufacturing and commercialization of live and inactivated vaccines targeting a large array of avian pathogens.

Globion is based in Hyderabad where its industrial and R&D facilities employ around 120 full-time employees and generated approximately €12 million of revenue in 2023.
