Glenmark Pharmaceuticals has entered into an exclusive licensing deal with Canada-based Immanence-IDC to distribute the latter’s anti-aging cosmeceutical range of products in eight countries.

The company’s 10-year licensing agreement with Immanence-IDC will span eight countries, including India, Brazil, Mexico, South Africa, Egypt, Vietnam, Malaysia and Thailand.

“This association marks a new beginning for us in one of the fastest growing segments in dermatology,” the Glenmark Pharmaceuticals COO, Mr Arvind Vasudeva, said in a statement.

He said the association would enable the firm to consolidate its leadership position in dermatology across these markets.

“This 10-year agreement with Glenmark will open new markets for us and through a network of more than 1.5 lakh dermatologists, it will allow us to reach more than 1.5 billion people,” the Immanence-IDC Board Chairman, Mr Eric Dupont, said.

Commenting on the tie-up, the Immanence-IDC President and CEO, Mr Luc Dupont, said with the agreement with Glenmark, the company’s products would be available in over 12 countries.

“Our goal is to establish a presence in over 25 countries over the next two years,” he added.
