  • Amount includes joint investments from provincial and federal governments, as well as private investment from exclusive partner Delpharm
  • Sandoz reaffirms its commitment to long-term supply agreement signed with Delpharm earlier this year

SAINT-HUBERT, QC, Aug. 27, 2025 /CNW/ – Sandoz, the global leader in generic and biosimilar medicines, welcomes the Government of Quebec’s contribution to modernize Delpharm’s pharmaceutical manufacturing and development facilities in Boucherville. In all, more than CAD 220 million will be invested in this project, including CAD 60 million from the provincial government, CAD 60 million from the federal government and CAD 100 million in private investment.

Sandoz signed a long-term supply agreement with Delpharm earlier this year. This 10-year partnership, combined with government and private financial support, will allow Delpharm to fully modernize its Boucherville plant, ensuring a reliable supply of high-quality, affordable sterile injectables made in Canada.

Michel Robidoux, President and General Manager of Sandoz Canada, said: “Delpharm is a valuable partner that shares our commitment to improving access to medicine. The financial support provided by the provincial and federal governments for the modernization of the plant reflects their recognition of the strategic importance of this project for our hospital network.”

The modernization project mainly involves renewing and renovating production equipment and the laboratory to create a state-of-the-art facility. The plan will be implemented in phases over the next few years to avoid any impact on supply. This modernization will improve productivity and, most importantly, ensure that Sandoz continues to meet the highest quality standards imposed by the authorities and our customers.
