Dear colleagues and friends!

As the New Year is drawing near, all of us are in high spirits hurrying to complete what was started, getting ready for joyful New Year fuss, planning ahead for the coming year, and pondering what year 2018 was to us. I bet, if everyone of us told about past 365 days of his or her life, this would be a story of like-minded people, of kindred souls!

The year gone by was a rewarding, effective, and high-voltage one for the Pharmasyntez Group of Companies. I would say, it was a beginning of the second score that will bring us global growth, innovation, and new expertise.

In 2018, our Company proved its high-performance and reliability on the Russian pharmaceutical market. We have launched three projects: construction of a facility for hormonal drug production in Tyumen that will be the biggest in Europe, a vertically integrated facility for manufacturing active pharmaceutical ingredients and finished dosage forms in Usolye-Sibirskoye and anticancer drug manufacturing plant in Saint Petersburg. An introduction of new dosage forms, soft gelatin and liquid-filled hard capsules, has become a true technology breakthrough for the Company, as it is the only production line of this kind in Russia.

So, I cannot but give credit to our Company employees, because each and everyone of you has a hand in the success and achievements of Pharmasyntez by playing your part and contributing to the common cause.

I would also like to thank the partners of our Company, who always support us. It is due to cooperation with you that Pharmasyntez has managed to rise to eminence in the market and to take the lead in it.

Dear colleagues and partners, I wish health to you and your close, unflagging energy and strength, wealth and warm family hearth in the New Year! May each of you have good deal of luck and may your hearts be filled with joy!

My warmest congratulations are to medical professionals and patients. I wish a speedy recovery to those who are ill and, as for those who treat them. I wish passion about their work and modern, efficient, and available treatment modes!

Finally I wish the Pharmasyntez Group of Companies to develop robustly and be stable and let its most ambitious projects come true!

Think globally, be positive, believe in yourselves and love what you do!

Happy New Year! Merry Christmas!

Vikram Punia
President of the Pharmasyntez Group
