Israeli-based Teva Pharmaceutical Industries has completed the acquisition of Allergan’s generic pharmaceuticals distributor Anda, as part of a previously announced deal worth $500 million.
Teva and Anda reached an agreement to this effect in August this year.
As part of the deal, Teva acquired Anda's distribution centres in Olive Weston, Florida; Branch, Mississippi; and Groveport, Ohio, with a total of more than 650 employees.
Teva Pharmaceutical Industries global generic medicines president and CEO Siggi Olafsson said: “We are pleased that Anda, one of the leading distributors of generic medicines in the US, is now part of Teva.
"This acquisition reflects our continued view that attractive growth opportunities, both external and organic, exist for our business and for our extensive supply chain network in particular.
“This acquisition enables us and our customers to provide more patients throughout the country with access to generic medicines."
