- Globofarm will distribute Clasado’s Bimuno GOS prebiotic to pharmaceutical and nutraceutical customers across India.
- The agreement adds local regulatory and commercial support for brands, manufacturers and formulators.
Clasado Biosciences, a Reading, England-based prebiotic ingredient business and trading name of Clasado Limited, said October 28 that it appointed Globofarm International Pvt. Ltd. to distribute its Bimuno GOS ingredient across India. The agreement covers customers in the country’s pharmaceutical and nutraceutical sectors.
Globofarm will provide local commercial and regulatory support to brands, manufacturers and formulators using Bimuno GOS. Clasado framed the appointment as part of its Asia-Pacific expansion, giving Indian customers a domestic contact for ingredient access and market support while keeping the branded prebiotic within Clasado’s international supply network.
Bimuno GOS is a galacto-oligosaccharide prebiotic intended for supplement, synbiotic, functional food and ready-to-drink applications. Clasado says the ingredient has been used in more than 135 published studies. The companies did not disclose whether the agreement is exclusive or provide pricing, sales targets, inventory commitments or a rollout timetable.
The company said the distributor’s knowledge of India’s pharmaceutical and nutraceutical markets was central to the appointment. Marcelo Durante, Clasado’s vice president of sales and marketing, described the agreement as a route to broaden customer access and commercial reach.
“This partnership will help us to build new opportunities for Bimuno GOS while continuing to expand our global commercial reach.”
