Over eight years of joint work, Interros's expertise helped the company create a new enterprise structure, add professional managers to the team, and define a new business development strategy. Over the past year, large-scale investments have been made to produce a wide range of new medicines. Now Petrovax is entering a new stage of development – the stage of organic growth. Interros, as an investor, considers its mission accomplished. I am confident that the new shareholders will lead the company to further success.” – said Sergey Batekhin, Interros General Director.

“We are grateful to Interros for their expertise and contribution to the development of our company that has gone through a significant transformation and managed to occupy new niches in the pharmaceutical markets not only in Russia but also abroad. The buyout of this asset is the next logical step in our development: the new shareholder structure will allow the company to continue to grow and provide comfort for all stakeholders.” – said Petrovax President Mikhail Tsyferov.
