INTERVIEW 58 FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE March 2024 solutions that cover every stage of product development. From pharmaceutical development to novel drug delivery technologies, pre-clinical and clinical services, regulatory affairs, and manufacturing. Animal health companies can come to us for comprehensive product development support from start to finish or for dedicated input where we can add most value. No matter the size of our client’s company or what stage of product development they are in, we are equipped to help. Our 650+ colleagues are driven by our partnership approach and purpose: Healthy Animals. Let’s Make It Happen, Together. You recently announced your new structuring and your renewed brand identity with the “One Brand, One Vision” campaign, which included the rebranding of acquired companies. Could you please share the reasons and goals of the acquisitions? By acquiring the businesses that have joined the Argenta brand, we have an expanded global presence, strengthened capabilities, and an increased depth of expertise. As a result, customers can look forward to more tailored support based on their specific needs. With regulations varying across the globe, these acquisitions also enable Argenta to support customers on regulatory submissions to the FDA, EMA, and EFSA, with the potential to optimise their studies for use in multiple submissions. The acquisition of Pen & Tec Consulting, Ondax Scientific and Klifovet in the past years is in line with Argenta’s growth strategy and allows us to not only improve the services to our clients but also to do more to support the development and commercialisation of new products that benefit animals worldwide. As Argenta, you made a number of acquisitions, including Klifovet, Pen & Tec Consulting and Ondax Scientific. These brands continue to operate under the name Argenta. What does this process mean for the previous customers of these brands? What will you be offering them that is different from the past? The most important factor in combining our businesses under one brand is to provide clarity and to emphasise Argenta’s offering of broader, more cohesive services and solutions. We aim to become an unmatched ally in the animal health industry with seamless partnering right across the product development cycle - from ‘molecule to market’. This approach eliminates transfer issues between different organisations and gives animal health companies a smoother and more effective experience. Wherever our customers are in the world, we aim to make it
