Safic-Alcan announces exclusive global partnership with Hunan Keyifeng for steroid hormone distribution.

Paris-La Défense, October 20th, 2023 – Safic-Alcan is pleased to announce a major step in its long-standing collaboration with Hunan Keyifeng through an exclusive global distribution partnership covering Europe, Türkiye, North and South America, North Africa, and Egypt. This agreement significantly strengthens Safic-Alcan’s leadership in the global distribution of steroid hormones and pharmaceutical ingredients.
This milestone builds upon more than 20 years of strategic collaboration between Safic-Alcan and Hunan Keyifeng. In June 2023, both companies formalized their relationship further through a strategic cooperation agreement, paving the way for this new exclusive distribution framework.
