Caraco Pharmaceutical Laboratories, Ltd. is
one of the fastest growing companies in the generic pharmaceutical
industry. Caraco is engaged in the business of developing,
manufacturing, marketing and distributing generic and private-label
pharmaceuticals to the nation's largest wholesalers, distributors,
warehousing and non-warehousing chain drugstores and managed care
providers, throughout the U.S. These products are intended to treat a
variety of disorders including but not limited to the following:
hypertension, arthritis, epilepsy, diabetes, antipsychotic, depression
and pain management.
Founded in 1984, Caraco is located in the Metro Detroit area and its facilities have a total foot print of approximately 180,000 sq ft.
Caraco initially struggled as a start up company, however, its
renaissance truly began after establishing an alliance with Sun
Pharmaceutical Industries, Ltd. (“Sun”), currently the 5th largest
pharmaceutical company in India. In 1997, Sun became Caraco’s majority
shareholder, and subsequently, the two companies entered into a
technology transfer agreement. As disclosed, under the products
agreement dated November 21, 2002, Sun agreed to transfer the technology
for 25 products (all have been selected), which Caraco would file with
the FDA. Also, Caraco has recently entered into a definitive agreement
to market Sun ANDAs that are either approved or awaiting approval at the
FDA.
Between the technology transfer and marketing agreements,
along with Caraco’s internal product development, there are over 60
products awaiting approval from the FDA, as of December 31, 2006, that
potentially could be marketed by Caraco in the U.S. and Puerto Rico. In
addition to the pipeline of products offered by Sun, Caraco has signed
three definitive agreements with third party developers or formulators,
which will provide for an alternate stream of products that will
complement Caraco’s current portfolio.
Caraco remains extremely pro-active in regards to growing its business
appropriately to fit the current competitive environment, while
maintaining a focus on creating value with quality generic
pharmaceuticals to seize the opportunities available to it in the US
market place. With global sales of generic drugs expected to grow more
than 20 percent annually to reach $80 billion by 2008, Caraco is well
positioned with four diverse paths of development, which include: the
Sun marketing and technology agreements, internal research and
development and lastly, outsourced development. These various paths
mitigate the risk of each other, potentially allowing for an ongoing
stream of approvals from the FDA.
Our staff is engaged in the growth of our business and is perpetually
focused on the execution of our plan. We continually review our capacity
and determine action steps required to meet our future goals. We as a
company, work in a team environment constantly challenging ourselves to
excel.
Caraco is a publicly listed generic pharmaceutical company traded on the
American Stock Exchange (AMEX) with the ticker symbol: CPD.
