Valphira combines the depth of established pharmaceutical production with the service mindset of a modern contract manufacturer.

Our origins

Our story didn't start from scratch

Valphira Medical Solutions GmbH is a German, GMP-certified contract manufacturer of medicines and dietary supplements – with deep roots in pharmaceutical manufacturing.

Valphira grew out of the production of Pascoe pharmazeutische Präparate GmbH – an environment where pharmaceutical quality, responsibility and reliability have been part of everyday work for decades.

Many contract manufacturers start out as pure service providers. Valphira is different: we grew out of our own production. Our processes, our understanding of quality and our ability to deliver didn't have to be built from the ground up. They were already there.

With the spin-off, long-standing production expertise became an independent contract manufacturer – making this know-how available to new brands, pharmaceutical companies, healthcare providers and fast-growing innovators.

The Valphira advantage

What makes us special

1. Rooted in real production

Your product, made by us. We manufacture your formula to pharmaceutical standards – active ingredient dosage, dosage form and packaging, all tailored to your specifications.

2. A service mindset that comes naturally

Because we come from in-house production, our team never had to learn a service mindset from scratch.

They know what it means to be a manufacturer responsible for your own products – which is exactly why they understand our customers so well.

We know forecasts matter – but they are not set in stone.

We know sales rarely move in a straight line, and that swings in demand usually reflect real market dynamics rather than poor planning.

That shapes how we work: as partners, realistic and focused on solutions.

We work with market realities, not against them.

3. Experience with a sense of proportion

People with a background in private label and manufacturing look at projects differently.

We understand how much quality, reliable supply and cost certainty matter. We also know that speed, flexibility and commercially sound decisions often make the difference day to day.

That is why we think beyond machine hours and specifications – about feasibility, market entry, ramp-up, risk reduction and long-term partnership.

4. Family-run, direct and committed

Valphira is a family-run business, not a private equity vehicle chasing returns. What matters to us is not the size of a client but the quality of the partnership.

Customer satisfaction is not a slogan for us but a benchmark. Flexibility is not an extra but part of how we work. We want to be easy to reach.

We want to think ahead with you.

And we want solutions that work for both sides.

People are what set us apart

Our team's expertise is our greatest asset.

Valphira didn't just carry on a production site – above all, it preserved valuable knowledge.

Our people bring experience from more than 125 years of pharmaceutical manufacturing to every project.

Average tenure is 17.5 years – a figure that speaks volumes about stability, commitment and hands-on expertise.

Many processes, fine details and quality decisions rely not only on documentation, but on real routine, a trained eye and understanding built up over years.
