About Us
Biofer SpA:
an Italian story with a global vocation, since 1985.
Our History
Biofer SpA is an Italian company recognized worldwide for the development, production and marketing of various families of APIs and committed to promoting people’s well-being through scientifically advanced solutions of exceptional quality.
Since 1985, the company’s operations have been entirely focused on the various stages of development and production of several of the main categories of active pharmaceutical ingredients, the heart of modern medicine and the basis of most innovative and successful treatments: Iron Complexes, Heparins, Glycosaminoglycans, Steroids, Folinates and Enzymes.
The architects of a better future based on progress
Our in-depth knowledge of the chemistry of different categories of active pharmaceutical ingredients and our constant and tireless efforts made in the field of research and development enable us to offer flexible solutions to meet the specific needs of different types of customers.
Quality Without Compromise:
Our Priority, Our Promise
We develop products in full and strict compliance with the highest GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) standards and hold all authorizations from AIFA (Italian Drug Agency) and the Ministry of Health recognized throughout Europe. In order to ensure maximum transparency and control, we constantly receive visits and inspections from our customers.
All of our productions are realized with the utmost attention to the environment and sustainability as evidenced by the UNI EN ISO 14001 & UNI ISO 45001 certifications we have achieved.
We constantly invest in the most innovative and modern technologies, both for API production and dosage forms, paying attention to the different needs of customers and regulatory requirements, in order to always be able to offer a tailor-made service.
Our ASMFs (Active Substance Master Files) are approved almost all over the world and have passed the inspections of the most severe and demanding Regulatory Authorities, both in the chemical and biological fields.
Quality is not a phase of the process,
it is a constant responsibility
From research and development projects to the marketing of the final product, we rigorously monitor each stage to ensure the quality we are committed to providing.
Our customers are present in over 60 countries: we work with Ministries all over the world and can ensure high efficiency and quality. Our commitment is concrete and tangible: for each category of active ingredients in which we specialize, we have a dedicated production area, as well as ad hoc qualitative and regulatory experiences.
This allows us to forge productive partnerships with different types of clients, from small private companies to multinational corporations.
Ethics
For Biofer, Ethics is an essential value. Over the years, we have developed a thorough code of ethics that regulates and guards internal and external relationships, along with a regulatory compliance system that allows us to work systematically and transparently.
We have been adhering to international regulations in the anti-corruption field for more than a decade.
We adopt, as of 2015, the management model in accordance with the Italian regulations of Legislative Decree 231/2001, thus characterizing ourselves by maximum prevention and attention to the risks to which our company may be exposed.
Sustainability and environmental protection
We manage our processes as responsibly as possible, as an ecosystem, recognizing how each of us is indispensable to the other in a process of mutual learning and co-evolution.
Biofer has signed an investment plan for sustainable and ecological growth: in particular, it aims toward energy self-sufficiency, by deriving its energy needs from renewable sources. This growth is possible because of the geographic location of our production headquarters and laboratories, located far from urban centers, with a concrete availability of physical space for expansion.
Sustainability, for us, means recognizing the strong interdependence between the enterprise and the system in which it operates, including the local community. We can contribute to the economic, social, environmental and cultural sustainability of the societies in which we live, aware, from a shared value perspective, of the benefits to business when it is embedded in a system that thrives with them.
A History in constant evolution, with shared ethical values
A well-structured corporate organization, an extremely varied business experience with innovative internal strategies, and a clear vocation for excellence: these are our keys to lasting and successful partnerships.
Over nearly 40 years, the company has followed and accompanied the evolution and natural innovation inherent in the production and development of active ingredients in an ever-changing market.
And has done so by establishing itself as a point of reference for different types of customers and as a reliable, ever-present, innovative and flexible international and global partner.
A family history that, from the year of its foundation to today, has been able to constantly renew itself with the succession of different partners with clear and precise guidelines. A history made of important values: ethics, quality, presence and reliability for partners, stakeholders and customers all over the world.
Corporate Vision
Biofer’s commitment is also an ethical duty, which starts from the high values shared by all employees and embraces the global vision of succeeding in creating a better future for society.
Messengers of scientific knowledge and advocates of progress: we constantly engage in research & development for innovation and continuous improvement.
Our commitment also involves the evolution of the company itself: since September 2021, alongside the organizational and industrial headquarters in Medolla (MO), a management office has also been opened in Milan, a dynamic European and global hub. Among the many ambitious goals, Biofer also has that of creating a new research center made up of professionals and young people able to express their potential to the fullest and put their talent at the service of science.
