History

A story of evolution and achievement

Our journey began in 1997 and, from day one, Biolab has been committed to promoting greater health and well-being for people, providing quality of life through medicines. Our trajectory is marked by innovations that make a difference and by the relentless pursuit of evolution in health.

1997 - The beginning in Taboão da Serra (SP)

With the acquisition of our first factory in Taboão da Serra (SP), we began producing solid, semi-solid and injectable medicines, both hormonal and non-hormonal. That same year saw the launch of the drug Aradois, a milestone in cardiology and one of the most respected and prescribed drugs for heart care in Brazil.

1999 - A milestone with the inauguration of PD&I

In 1999 we opened our Research, Development and Innovation (RD&I) center in Itapecerica da Serra (SP). Now, focused on innovation and the development of our own products, we mark the beginning of a new era at Biolab Sanus Farmacêutica Ltda.

2005 - Vonau Flash® and our partnership with USP

In cooperation with the University of São Paulo (USP), we developed Vonau Flash®, a leading anti-emetic in medical areas such as Pediatrics and Gastroenterology, which benefits more than 6 million patients a year. This partnership propels us globally, with exports to countries such as Ecuador and Colombia, and has already generated more than R$ 30 million in royalties for the university, which represents 90% of the total received by the educational institution, which in turn reinvests the value to generate more health for the Brazilian population.

2010 - Biolab-Merz partnership elevates therapeutic care

The collaboration between Biolab and the German company Merz in 2010 led to the Merz-Biolab joint venture, which expanded our international expansion and opened up new business opportunities.
