Pharma Développement

What Pharma Développement does

Pharma Développement is a privately held French industrial pharmaceutical laboratory founded in 1991 and headquartered in Corbigny, Bourgogne-Franche-Comté. The company manufactures and distributes a diversified portfolio of health products organized into four categories: medications spanning all major ATC therapeutic classes (digestive/metabolic, cardiovascular, dermatological, genito-urinary, hormones, anti-infectives, musculoskeletal, nervous system, respiratory, and blood/hematopoietic), dietary supplements, dermo-cosmetics and hygiene products, and food for special medical purposes including oral rehydration solutions. Manufacturing is anchored at a single Corbigny site holding ANSM GMP certification (reference 2022_HPF_FR_102) and includes specialized corticosteroid packaging workshops (since 2009) and a new dry forms production line commissioned in 2023.

The business operates as a Société par Actions Simplifiée (SAS) with €120,000 share capital, owned by Mario GIRON since 2008. The company sells through a multi-channel distribution model: French pharmacies for retail consumers, grossiste répartiteur and grossiste dépositaire (Movianto) for professional healthcare buyers, and a direct export team serving international markets. Products are commercially available in over 30 countries across Europe, Africa, the Americas, Caribbean, and Asia, with market entries sequenced from the United States (2009) through Francophone Africa (2012), Vietnam (2014), Iraq (2015), Algeria (2016), and Thailand (2020).

The customer base is structurally fragmented across retail pharmacies, wholesale distributors, and export channels, with no single anchor buyer identified. Marketing is limited to an institutional website and basic social media presence on LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram. The company reports 69 employees as of 2022 and states teams are growing. Revenue, funding history, and detailed pricing are not publicly disclosed.
