17 Oct 2012 Evaluate

Hester Biosciences has entered into a Business Transfer Agreement (BTA) with Innoves Animal Health, a Delhi based company involved in the marketing of Large Animal Health Products for the dairy. Through the BTA, Hester has acquired the products, the brands and the marketing network of Innoves. All the employees of Innoves including the key management team have joined Hester. Innoves product brands - CURX, PROTIN-C, BETA4VET, HIFCR are well accepted in the dairy market.

This acquisition of the Innoves business is in line with Hester’s business plans to set up a Large Animal Health Division. Hester now has a ready platform to launch its Large Animal Health business which will not only market Innoves products, but also the Hester range of large animal products and large animal vaccines. 

Hester would be launching its own large animal health product range through the newly acquired Innoves marketing infrastructure. The current distribution network and infrastructure of Hester would be utilized to distribute Innoves products, thereby sizably reducing distribution costs.

Hester has currently embarked on manufacturing PPR, Goat Pox, Brucella Abortus S-19 and Theileria - vaccines for large animals. PPR vaccine is part of the National Disease eradication program of the Government of India. The susceptible animal population for PPR is 212 million, making it a market for Rs. 800 million. Besides, there is a high demand of the vaccine in Asia and Southern Africa.

Hester will be the first company to commercially manufacture Goat Pox vaccine in India. The susceptible animal population for Goat Pox is 140 million, making it a market for Rs. 450 million. There is a good demand for this vaccine in Asia and Southern African countries.

The expected turnover from the Large Animal Health division of Hester, for the Indian market, in the first 12 months would be Rs. 100 million and is expected to grow at over 20% on a year to year basis.
