After the two partners’ cooperation in Russia and several CIS countries, both companies have decided to grow their cooperation. The addition of NKY products strengthens Harke’s portfolio of pharma excipients, allowing the Germany-based chemical and pharmaceutical distributor to better support its pharma customers in the Eastern European region.

Povidones and Crospovidones are polymers based on N-vinylpyrrolidone with long history of being used as effective excipient and additives. Due to their numerous properties, this range of polymers is successfully used in both solid, semisolid and liquid applications. Moreover, NKY also offers a line of oral mucosal adhesive products for dental care under their OraRez product line, further expanding the range of possible uses for their portfolio of products.

Jack Sun, International Sales Manager at Boai NKY, comments: “We are very pleased to further expand our partnership with Harke Pharma to include Eastern Europe. Harke’s ideals of trustworthiness and dependability coupled with their strong cus-tomer support, both commercial and technical, makes them a perfect partner for NKY. It is very important to work with like-minded partners in order to support our customer base as best as possible. By working with Harke in a seamless fashion, the customer benefits from improved transparency, customer service and development opportunities.”

Commenting on the development, Thorsten Harke, President of Harke, adds: “The cooperation with NKY in Eastern Europe helps Harke Pharma to further strengthen our position as a strategic excipient distributor and solution provider in the region. Through our cooperation, we have experienced NKY to be a well-established partner with vast product knowledge and strong focus on customer needs. Being one of the top PVP manufacturers in the global market, with back integrated supply lines, NKY has an outstanding capacity, knowledge and flexibility. Thanks to this, they can provide customers with not only common products, but also materials tailored for their needs, all meeting the highest GMP standards. Their products synergize perfectly with our portfolio, allowing Harke Pharma to support customers, with excipients for each stage of their formulation.”
