Performance indicators

2021: Revenue growth by 57% to RUB 19.5 billion

The Nanolek biopharmaceutical company shared the Zdrav.Expert financial results of 2021 on April 14, 2022. For the second year in a row pharmaceutical , the company showed rapid growth. So, in 2020, revenue increased by 70% to 12.4 billion, and in rubles 2021 the company took a new height: annual revenue reached 19.5 billion rubles, which is 57% higher than a year earlier. Over the year, more than 30 million packages of drugs were produced.

Despite the fact that the name of the company in 2021 often sounded in connection with the vaccine "KoviVak," which in December began to be produced at the Nanolek plant in the Kirov region by order of the developer - the Center named after Chumakov, the main growth driver was not "covid." As noted in the company, Covidolek contributed, showing a significant increase in sales, but in general, drugs related to the treatment of covid brought less than 20% of revenue.

According to Nanolek estimates, the key part of the annual turnover in 2021 fell on the production of drugs from the main portfolio. For liquid dosage forms - due to pediatric vaccines, Polymilex and Pentaxim. For solid dosage forms (tablets), a significant share of growth was ensured by the production of a record amount of Concor, which is used for coronary heart disease and heart failure.

In 2021, Nanolek signed an agreement with Sanofi on the production of meningococcal vaccine Menactra, which is an important milestone in the formation of the company's pediatric portfolio. Already at the end of February 2022, the partners released the first series of Menaktra at a plant in the Kirov region.

In 2021, thanks to Nanolek Russian , two new drugs appeared on the market: small-molecule heparin for the prevention of thromboembolism - "Cibor" and a drug for the treatment of mantle-cell lymphoma - "Brookins." "Efferon" The company considers original specialized drugs such as Brookinza, Hunteraza, Cibor, as well as sorption columns to be growth points.

The company allocated a total of 1.5 billion rubles for development in 2021 (70% more than last year). Of these, about 0.7 billion rubles were allocated for the development of the company's portfolio, including clinical trials of the domestic vaccine against HPV (papillomavirus) - the joint development of Nanolek and Kombiotech. The company also continued the annual modernization of the plant in the Kirov region, including the opening of a biochemical laboratory with an area of ​ ​ more than 140 m2 in December.

According to Mikhail Nekrasov, CEO of Nanolek, the company has been increasing its competencies for 10 years and has learned a lot through partner projects with global players of "big pharma." At the beginning of 2021, Nanolek adopted an updated strategy for the next five years, and the increase in annual turnover by 57% is the result of a clear direction that the company set itself a year ago.

"The difficult situation in the Russian economy associated with sanctions is likely to affect our company. We await the decision of our international partners on previously planned investment projects, which they are revising. But basically our plans remain in force, even despite the growth of the key rate to 17%, "said the head of the company.

The company is moving in accordance with the strategy adopted a year ago: it is strengthening the import substitution line and continues to invest in full-cycle biotechnological production at a plant in the Kirov region, including the development of substances for vaccines. In total, it is planned to allocate up to 5 billion rubles for these purposes over the next three years, added Mikhail Nekrasov.

History

2023

Plan to invest 5 billion rubles in the production of vaccines against HPV, chickenpox and others in the Kirov region

On October 31, 2023, the Governor of the Kirov Region Alexander Sokolov and the General Director of Nanolek Vladimir Nesterenko signed a number of agreements on cooperation in the socio-economic sphere. Among the signed documents are an agreement of intent to implement an investment project for the production of biotechnological substances and vaccines on the territory of the Nanolek biomedical complex for 5 billion rubles and a roadmap for the further development of the social infrastructure of the Orichevsky district of the Kirov region.

Cooperation between the Kirov region and Nanolek is aimed at strengthening the investment climate and developing particularly significant areas for the region: the biotechnology industry, the special economic zone, transport infrastructure, social formations protection and employment. population

Nanolek plans to implement an investment project to create new capacities for the production of biotechnological substances and vaccines for the prevention of socially significant diseases. Among the drugs planned for production at the planned facilities within the framework of the investment project are Nanolek's own vaccine against the human papillomavirus, a vaccine against chickenpox, meningococcal infection and other vaccines for the prevention of socially significant diseases.

The company plans to implement an investment project in 7 years, from 2025 to 2032. Nanolek will produce an additional 14 million packages of drugs per year and will create 280 new jobs.

The volume of tax payments for ten years of drug production is about 4 billion rubles.

In the period 2011-2023 the volume of Nanolek investments in the biomedical complex in the Kirov region amounted to more than 12 billion rubles, the amount of tax payments - 2 billion rubles.

Within the framework of the road map signed by the parties for the joint development of social infrastructure in the village of Lyovintsy, Orichevsky district, Kirov region, where the Nanolek plant is located, joint work is envisaged in the field of support for kindergarten and school under the state program of the Kirov region "Development of education"; Nanolek's participation in events to create a comfortable urban environment in the Orichevsky district; development of the transport sphere by extending bus routes and creating an additional bus stop.

Nanolek has been providing versatile support to the Orichevsky district since 2011, when the construction of the company's plant began.

In any collaboration - public or private - it's like a win-win system - everyone should be the winners. First of all, people who work at the enterprise live in Kirov, Orichevsky district or Lyovintsy. We signed a double agreement just about this - about people. So that we jointly create a social base and infrastructure for people: education, culture, housing. We see that the enterprise is developing very efficiently, the volume of production is increasing, they occupy their unique niche. For all regions, the main problem now is the availability of opportunities to attract labor resources. Colleagues from Nanolek understand this, trying to solve this problem by action. Together with us, they are developing a common project to create infrastructure for people here, they are attracted by more favorable economic conditions, - commented Alexander Sokolov, Governor of the Kirov Region.

File:Aquote1.png
The partnership between Nanolek and the Kirov region began at the time of confirmation of plans for the construction of the plant in 2010 and continues constructively to this day. By contributing to the development of the region, we provide synergy and mutual development in completely different areas. Let me give you an example. Despite the change in the situation in the supply of foreign components for production, Nanolek found partners in the small business segment of the Kirov region. For 9 months of 2023, due to work with local manufacturers in the field of mechanical engineering and the production of spare parts, the company saved about 50 million rubles. I note that parts from Kirov manufacturers are approved by global quality services for use in the production of drugs by Nanolek partners - international pharmaceutical companies - at our plant in the Kirov region. This indicates a high level of local engineering, - noted Vladimir Nesterenko, General Director of Nanolek. Speaking of personnel potential, I would like to note that the company not only creates a comfortable environment in the surrounding areas, but also actively cooperates with Vyatka State University, a supporting university in the region with great scientific and educational potential. Such multilateral cooperation in various fields allows Nanolek to solve issues of development and release of new drugs, personnel tasks, in turn contributing to the development of biotechnological specialization of the Kirov region.

Registration of the company in the Russian Federation

In early June 2023, it became known about the change of registration of Nanolek from Cypriot to Russian. Legally, the new owner of the vaccine manufacturer was the K2 Group company registered in the Russian Federation.

As Vedomosti writes with reference to the data of the SPARK-Interfax system, the deal was closed on May 24, 2023. Before that, it was owned by the Cypriot Nanolek Holding Limited, and since April 28, the Management-Asset investment fund (it is also managed by the K2 Group Management Company).

As part of the project, the Nanolek biopharmaceutical company is reconstructing a production building with a total area of ​ ​ more than 2.5 thousand m2 at an innovative plant Kirov in the region. In addition to the zones for the production of the active pharmaceutical substance, production control laboratories, engineering systems, offices and auxiliary premises will be located here.

The layout and concept of the case will meet the global Good Manufacturing Practice standards, which establish requirements for production and quality control at high-tech pharmaceutical enterprises. The production will be equipped with biotechnological equipment from Russian and international suppliers. The design of the hull is scheduled to be completed in the second quarter of 2022.

According to Nanolek, the total investment in the Nasha Tesla project will amount to more than 3.5 billion rubles. Of these:

  • 1.5 billion rubles will be allocated for the main technological equipment,
  • for engineering systems - 1 billion rubles,
  • for laboratory equipment - more than 150 million rubles,
  • for the transfer and scaling of production technology - 850 million rubles.

As specified, the company has already invested several hundred million rubles in the Nasha Tesla project and plans to apply for a loan to the Industry Development Fund under the Priority Projects program. The cost of equipment due to the current difficulties of working with European suppliers, as well as the search for new potential partners in other markets, will increase, according to Nanolek, by 20-30%.

The first product within the framework of the Our Tesla project will be a completely domestic vaccine against the human papillomavirus - this is a joint development of Nanolek and Kombiotech (the developer and manufacturer of the full cycle of the recombinant hepatitis B vaccine). The capacity of the production building will allow the production of up to 8 million doses of the finished HPV vaccine from 2025, the company noted.

Prevention virus will help reduce mortality from. cancer Human papillomavirus (HPV) causes cancer and precancerous conditions of the cervix, vagina, external female genitalia, penis and anus, and some head and neck cancers in adults. According to data published in 2021 in the scientific journal Lancet, HPV vaccination reduces the risk by 90% - cervical cancer a disease from which more than 300 thousand people die annually. This is a vaccination without age, but above WHO all recommends that girls from 9 to 13 years old, and among people 27-45 years old - first of all, people living with HIV, and. smoker The vaccine is already included in the national calendars of preventive vaccinations in 91, in Russia country of the world as of March 2022 it is included in separate regional vaccination calendars, it is planned to add it to the national calendar in 2024. So far Russia , only foreign vaccines are available to residents.

Summary

  • Labeling of medicinal products is a global and, apparently, inevitable process that takes place in the world markets Russia, USA, EU, Turkey, etc.)
  • So far, there is no unambiguous understanding of the benefits of the labeling process, but participants in the commodity distribution chain have the opportunity to influence the system and achieve a mutually beneficial partnership with the regulator in terms of using data on the movement of goods
  • The MDLP system has great potential to increase the transparency of trade and logistics processes for labeled goods
  • Despite the local success of the implementation of the Marking project, a pilot operation stage is required for all participants in the distribution chain

2015

Revenue - 300 million rubles

The company's revenue in 2015 amounted to 300 million rubles.

Project to create a biotechnological complex in the Orichevsky district

As of August 2015, a project to create a modern biotechnological complex was being implemented in the Orichevsky district of the Kirov region (in 2014, the first stage of production was launched).

Portfolio company Rusnano Nanolek opens a laboratory of pharmaceutical technologies at Vyatka State University

On August 7, 2015, the Vyatka State University hosted the grand opening of the pharmaceutical biotechnology laboratory to train future employees of the biomedical complex of NANOLEK LLC (the village of Lyovintsy, Kirov Region).

The laboratory equipment is intended for mastering all stages of the development and production of modern biologics: from the cultivation of producer strains in a laboratory bioreactor to the isolation and purification of the target protein by ultrasonic disintegration, centrifugation, electrophoresis and chromatography and the production of finished dosage forms of preparations using a laboratory tablet press and a granulator. The equipment of the laboratory allows you to control the quality of drugs at all stages of their production - microscopes, spectrophotometers, tablet analyzer, etc. are used for this.

The total investment of NANOLEK LLC in the training of production personnel at Vyatka State University today has already amounted to more than 8 million rubles. So, in August 2015, the university launched a professional retraining program "Development of immunobiological drugs and technologies for their production," prepared by order of the Fund for Infrastructure and Educational Programs of RUSNANO and NANOLEK. Students of the program were both current specialists of the enterprise and graduates of the university in 2015 with a degree in biotechnology. Along with full-time training, the program uses specially designed electronic training modules - this allows you to effectively train specialists already working at the enterprise. Participants in the educational program can specialize in such areas as the production of vaccines, the manufacture of drugs based on monoclonal antibodies and recombinant proteins, management in biopharmaceuticals and the production of finished dosage forms.

VyatSU's cooperation with NANOLEK began even before the official launch of production: the university created an infrastructure in the field of biotechnology, which includes training laboratories of two departments, two scientific and educational centers - Nanotechnology and Bioengineering and several specialized laboratories, including the Laboratory of Physiology of Microorganisms, functioning at the university as a joint laboratory with the Komi Institute of Physiology of the Russian Academy of Sciences. In 2014, a recruitment for a new preparation profile was opened - "pharmaceutical biotechnology" with a high competition (on average, 6 people per place).
