Mylan Inc. completed the acquisition of Canadian-headquartered Bioniche Pharma Holdings Limited.

Bioniche Pharma, an injectable pharmaceutical company, is providing Mylan with immediate entry into the North American injectables market and a platform for the commercialization of future biosimilar product offerings.

Mylan announced its plan to acquire Bioniche Pharma for $550 million in cash on July 14 and expects the business to be accretive in year one, without accounting for any synergies.

Mylan also launched its Mylan Institutional business, a newly created platform focused on providing a differentiated product offering tailored to institutional customers throughout North America, including group purchasing organizations, wholesalers, hospitals, surgical and radiology services, home infusion service providers, long-term care facilities, correctional facilities, specialty pharmacies, veterinary clinics and retail outlets.

Mylan Institutional combines the product line of Bioniche Pharma with that of UDL Laboratories, Mylan's unit dose business, and it establishes a solid foundation for an even larger-scale global institutional business for Mylan.

"Mylan Institutional will include, among other offerings, Bioniche Pharma's diverse portfolio of products across several therapeutic areas for the hospital setting, including analgesics/anesthetics, orthopedics, oncology and urology. Its robust pipeline includes 15 Abbreviated New Drug Applications pending FDA approval and more than 25 additional products in various stages of development,” said Mylan President Heather Bresch.

“We look forward to distinguishing ourselves further in the global institutional marketplace. By continuing to leverage our portfolio to serve institutional customers around the world, we can continue to unlock additional efficiencies in their operations, help lower costs and improve patient care."

Mylan Inc. ranks among the leading generic and specialty pharmaceutical companies in the world and provides products to customers in more than 140 countries and territories.
