La Défense – June 22nd, 2026 – Safic-Alcan, a leading global distributor of specialty chemical ingredients, announces the extension of its strategic partnership with Innophos, a leading provider of specialty phosphate and mineral solutions, to now cover Switzerland. Building on an established presence across the DACH region, this agreement gives Swiss pharmaceutical and nutraceutical manufacturers direct access to Innophos' high-performance phosphate portfolio, supported by Safic-Alcan's local commercial and technical expertise. 

Innophos offers a comprehensive range of specialty phosphates engineered to meet the exacting standards of pharmaceutical and nutraceutical formulators. The portfolio distributed by Safic-Alcan in Switzerland covers three key product ranges: 

  • Tab® Products (granular grade): designed for direct compression applications, delivering excellent flowability and compressibility for solid dosage manufacturing at an industrial scale. 
  • Calipharm® (powder grade): a versatile, multi-purpose grade adapted to a wide range of oral solid dosage forms including chewable tablets, offering formulators flexibility across their development pipeline. 
  • Co-Processed product range (like A-Tab® MD): a next-generation multifunctional excipient combining several functionalities in a single ingredient — simplifying formulations, reducing processing steps, and optimizing solid dosage performance. 

All Innophos phosphates are manufactured to pharmaceutical-grade standards, ensuring consistent quality, full traceability, and compliance with the most stringent regulatory requirements across Swiss and European markets. 

Switzerland is a strategically important market for our Pharma & Nutraceuticals business, home to some of the most demanding and innovative manufacturers in the industry. Extending our Innophos partnership to cover the full Swiss territory is a natural next step — and it gives our customers access to a phosphate portfolio that is genuinely differentiated in terms of performance and regulatory robustness.
