Development Strategy

Binnopharm Group was established in 2020 as a result of the consolidation of Sistema's stakes in the pharmaceutical assets. The holding company includes five modern production sites across Russia: Alium JSC (formerly OBL Pharm; Serpukhov district, Moscow region), Binnopharm JSC (two sites at Zelenograd and Krasnogorsk), Sintez JSC (Kurgan) and Biocom JSC (Stavropol). Binnopharm Group is engaged in development and production of drugs, sales of products and active promotion of drugs in the markets of Russia and the CIS.

In February 2021, in accordance with the strategy of strengthening its position on the pharmaceuticals market and transforming Binnopharm Group into an industry leader, Sistema and VTB Group (its financial partner in the development of the pharmaceuticals business) contributed their 56.2% stake in OJSC Sintez to the equity of Binnopharm Group to create a pharmaceutical holding company. At the same time, Sistema, VTB Group and a consortium of investors consisting of the Russia-China Investment Fund and major Middle East funds contributed an 85.6% stake in JSC Alium to the equity of Binnopharm Group. Subsequently, Sistema has increased its stake together with the financial partner. In June, VTB Capital invests in the holding company. 

Provided to the operational integration of Sintez (includes Biocom) and Alium (includes Binnopharm), the holding has become a major pharmaceutical player, which entered Top 5 in terms of sales among Russian companies in the commercial segment as of the end of 2020.

The strategic goals of Binnopharm Group are:

  • to become one of the leaders in the Russian  pharmaceutical market, 

  • to enhance the sales development and expand its presence in foreign markets,

  • to improve the company’s operational efficiency and investment appeal.
