Winter and early spring have flown by at Pharmia as we have been deeply engaged in exciting and inspiring projects. It has been a dynamic start to the year, filled with collaboration, development, and new opportunities with our customers.

Now, we are turning our attention to one of the major industry events of the season – Vitafoods Europe 2026 (5-7.5.2026). This year, Pharmia will once again be present, and you will find us at Labomar’s booth (3J88).

Labomar Group Strongly Represented

The entire Labomar Group will be attending Vitafoods, from the parent companies to all subsidiaries. The event offers a great opportunity to explore the group’s full range of expertise, services, and innovative development capabilities all in one place.

You can book a meeting with Pharmia’s specialists directly at Labomar’s booth.

Our experts from business development, sales, and R&D will be on-site; ready to exchange ideas and support your next project.

The Sales and Marketing teams across the Labomar Group gathered for a two-day Sales & Marketing Meeting focused on training, knowledge sharing, and strengthening collaboration across all subsidiaries.

The first day centered on aligning commercial priorities and reinforcing the shared Group Marketing strategy. Through discussions and collaborative sessions, participants worked together to ensure a unified and coordinated approach toward common goals across the entire Group.

The second day was dedicated to teamwork, with engaging team-building activities carried out in cross-functional groups. These sessions enhanced the sense of belonging and highlighted how essential collaboration between people, skills, and diverse perspectives is when facing future challenges.

Across both days, the meeting demonstrated a clear message: sustainable growth is built through collective effort; when our skills, insights, and ambitions move forward together.

Together, we create value and new interesting innovations to international markets.

As we approach the end of 2025, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude to our customers, employees, and partners for your trust, collaboration, and commitment throughout this year. Your support has been the cornerstone of our success.

We wish you a peaceful holiday season and a prosperous New Year filled with growth and opportunities.

Looking ahead to 2026, we are committed to deepening our customer relationships and strengthening collaboration with our partners. Together, we will continue to innovate and create value across markets.

Thank you for being part of our story. Here’s to an inspiring year ahead! 

Kind regards,

Pharmia has a desire to succeed also in export markets. As one of the steps, Pharmia participated in the Vitafoods exhibition held in Barcelona in May. We showcased our operations and highlighted our new products and areas of expertise—we are clearly an attractive domestic and Nordic contract manufacturer for food supplements and medical devices. After the fair, Pharmia’s product development team has been working on dozens of new projects—we are constantly learning new things and doing our best to ensure the success of our customers and to support new customer acquisition.

With each customer, we focus on customization, close collaboration, and strong project management in product development—reliability and quality are especially important to us. From Pharmia’s product development portfolio, around 50 new product projects are turned into tangible products every year for pharmacies and self-care sales channels. Our efforts are rewarded by the results—our customers’ success is Pharmia’s success as well.

The year 2024 was one of development and concrete action in Pharmia’s sustainability work. Our third sustainability report highlights the progress we’ve made in reducing our greenhouse gas emissions, creating a safer working environment, and improving our packaging solutions. 

Significant Emissions Reductions 
One of our greatest achievements in 2024 was reducing our greenhouse gas emissions. Our total emissions dropped by 19% from the previous year—and by as much as 23% compared to 2022. This was made possible by determined efforts to improve our production and supply chain. 

More Responsible Packaging Development 
We are actively seeking alternatives to virgin HDPE plastic, especially recycled materials. In 2024, we launched our PET project to assess the quality and suitability of recycled rPET plastic for our products and customer needs. Our goal is to shift to more sustainable packaging solutions—without compromising product safety or customer satisfaction. 

A Safe and Supportive Workplace 
We also made progress in occupational safety: the number of workplace accidents declined, and we continued investing in personal protective equipment, training, and facility upgrades. Additionally, we established the Pharmers team to promote staff wellbeing and workplace satisfaction. 

Work Continues in 2025 
In 2025, we will continue along the path that has proven successful. Our goals include meeting the demands of ISO 14001 environmental management standard, improving energy efficiency in collaboration with our property owner, and further developing our recycling solutions. We also plan to begin exploring the VSME reporting standard and assessing our key sustainability topics through materiality analysis. 

We remain fully committed to our sustainability work to ensure our products are safe, high-quality, and aligned with our customers’ expectations.
