La Défense – April 16th, 2026 – Safic-Alcan, a leading global distributor of specialty chemical ingredients, announces the extension of its distribution partnership with Ingredion Pharma Solutions for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical excipients across Europe. The agreement now covers France, Spain, Maghreb region, Germany, Benelux, the Nordics, the United Kingdom, and Poland — significantly strengthening Safic-Alcan's Pharma & Nutraceuticals offering across the continent.
Ingredion Pharma Solutions brings a structured, high-performance excipient portfolio designed to support formulators in solid dosage development. The partnership gives European pharmaceutical and nutraceutical manufacturers direct access to three strategic product families:
MANNITAB™, a premium mannitol range available in Direct Compression (DC) and Spray Dried (SD) grades, delivering outstanding flowability, compressibility, and low hygroscopicity — ideal for direct compression and co-processing applications.
UNI-PURE™, a portfolio of high-purity, pharmaceutical-grade starch excipients designed to deliver consistency, multi-functionality, and performance, enabling formulators to create reliable, high-quality products.
FARMAL™, a comprehensive range of formulation essentials including fillers, lubricants, disintegrants, and superdisintegrants — engineered to support the development of tablets and capsules at every stage of the formulation process.
All product ranges are produced in cGMP-certified facilities, backed by full regulatory support and Ingredion's global technical expertise, enabling faster formulation cycles and more reliable scale-up for manufacturers across the region.
The extended partnership will be supported by Safic-Alcan's local teams across all covered markets, providing formulators with on-the-ground technical guidance, sample management, and regulatory documentation support — from initial ingredient selection through to industrial-scale manufacturing.
