Roquette Debuts its Next Chapter at CPHI 2025 Following Qualicaps & IFF Pharma Solutions Acquisitions


At this year’s CPHI Frankfurt (booth 8.0P24, hall 8), Roquette will share its unified portfolio and strategic vision for the first time after having completed the acquisition of IFF Pharma Solutions. Together with the integration of Qualicaps, the newly formed Health & Pharma Solutions Business Group will present its expanded expertise ranging from consumer healthcare to prescription medications under the banner “United for Better Health,” providing an extensive portfolio in excipients, capsules, APIs, and drug delivery technologies as well as biopharmaceutical and nutraceutical solutions. Visitors are invited to join Roquette at its booth to discover how it is shaping the future of pharmaceutical innovation, drug development, and patient care.

Three legacies united for better health

Strengthened by the successful integration of Qualicaps in 2023 and the addition of IFF Pharma Solutions in May 2025, this combined portfolio positions Roquette as a solutions-oriented partner for pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical, and nutraceutical companies worldwide. With deep capabilities in technical excellence, polymer innovation, regulatory expertise, and sustainable manufacturing, it offers a comprehensive approach to formulation and development.

“This milestone marks the start of an exciting new chapter in our journey as an end-to-end global leader in pharmaceutical innovation,” said Isabelle Bouvier, CEO of the Roquette Health & Pharma Solutions Business Group. “By bringing together the strengths of three successful legacy businesses and over 75 years of expertise, we’ve expanded our ability to offer high-value drug delivery solutions that overcome modern pharma challenges. We provide excipients and APIs essential to life-saving therapies – making us the industry’s trusted partner for improving, sustaining, and ultimately saving lives. We’re excited to showcase our enhanced capabilities for the first time at CPHI Frankfurt and share how we can help create a healthier future for generations to come.”
