- Biofarm SA is a Romania-based pharmaceutical manufacturing company that develops, produces, and commercializes over-the-counter medications, prescription pharmaceuticals, dietary supplements, and medical devices. Founded in 1921 and headquartered in Bucharest, Romania, the company operates as a subsidiary of Poland-based Polpharma Group following a public takeover acquisition in 2026. Biofarm offers a diversified portfolio of over 100 products spanning more than 60 therapeutic areas; digestive and metabolic health products, including Triferment, Colebil, Anghirol, Carbocit, and Sennalax; respiratory and ear, nose, and throat remedies, including the Bioflu cold and flu line, Bixtonim decongestant sprays, and Antispasmin; pain relief and anti-inflammatory formulations under the Biofen brand; cardiovascular and circulatory support solutions, including Extravalerianic; central nervous system and sleep aids, including Nervocalmin; topical lotions and rubefacients under the Carmol brand; and nutritional supplements and multivitamins, including the Cavit and Bioland lines. The company manufactures solid, semi-solid, and liquid dosage forms, with specialized capabilities in soft gelatin capsules, compressed tablets, film-coated tablets, oral solutions, suspensions, and sprays. Biofarm distributes its products domestically to pharmacy chains, independent pharmacies, hospitals, and pharmaceutical wholesalers throughout Romania, while exporting to international markets including the Republic of Moldova, Hungary, Albania, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Iraq, and Kyrgyzstan. In recent corporate developments, Polpharma Group finalized the acquisition of Biofarm in mid-2026 in a transaction valued at approximately 270 million euros (1.36 billion RON), integrating the company into its regional pharmaceutical platform to broaden distribution across Central and Eastern Europe. Operationally, Biofarm has executed extensive capital investment and modernization programs at its Bucharest manufacturing complexes, including its Gura Badicului and Logofatul Tautu production and testing facilities, installing high-capacity tableting machinery, upgraded liquid preparation lines, certified Good Manufacturing Practice utility systems, and modernized research and development laboratories to scale manufacturing capacity up to 100 million units annually.
