What specific pharmaceutical ingredient assets is Evonik selling to ProChem, and where are they located?

Evonik is selling selected production assets for pharmaceutical ingredients from its Hanau site in Germany to ProChem Group. These assets are distinct from its Hanau-based GMP facility for advanced pharmaceutical lipids used in RNA therapeutics, which will continue operating to supply clinical and small-scale commercial quantities.

Why is Evonik divesting these assets, and how does this align with its broader healthcare strategy?

Evonik is streamlining its healthcare asset footprint to focus investment and growth on core areas including advanced oral and injectable drug delivery technologies, precision biosolutions (e.g., lipids for mRNA and gene delivery), and advanced cell-culture ingredients. As stated by Guido Skudlarek, head of the healthcare business line, refining focus and aligning assets enables Evonik to deliver more strongly where it creates the highest value for customers.
