The Ministry of Industry's PROFARMA Plan Committee has released its ratings for companies in the pharmaceutical sector. Within group A (companies with significant research activity with their own pharmaceutical production plant or basic or preclinical R&D centres), Bioiberica maintains, for another year, the "Good” rating.
The PROFARMA Plan is a Ministry of Industry, Trade, and Tourism programme to promote competitiveness in the pharmaceutical industry by modernising the industry and promoting activities with value-add, favouring a shift in the production model, and encouraging an improved balance of payments and gross domestic product. PROFARMA publicly recognises the effort put into and commitment to R&D of the leading companies in the sector, the development of new active principles, the patents derived from research and in search of wider markets, as well as their increased commitment to the development of the industrial structure and production activities.
