Founded in 2005, Farmasol produces a wide range of disposable products for dialysis: dialyzers, blood lines, bicarbonate cartridges, acid concentrate, machine disinfectant and fistula needles. With a strong team of 250 people and 2 manufacturing facilities, Farmasol is a trusted name in the industry. Elif Oymak, General Manager of Farmasol:
“There is an excellent match between our two companies. Farmasol, founded by my father Oktay Oymak as a nephrologist and owned by my parents, has the same company values as Pollet Medical Group. We both share that unique family DNA which is important to us. In addition, we are very familiar with Pollet Medical Group. Farmasol has been working with DWA, manufacturer of water treatment solutions for dialysis, and Hemotech for some time. Their activities are perfectly complementary to the activities of Farmasol. We believe that this partnership will combine the 20 years of manufacturing know-how of Farmasol with the extensive supply network of PMG. This provides new opportunities for both parties.”
Pollet Medical Group combines the skills of its companies, in-house R&D, own manufacturing of dialysis disposables and water treatments and a strong local presence. In this way, Pollet Medical Group emerges as a strong specialised player. Kris Oorts, CEO of Pollet Medical Group: “Thanks to the addition of Farmasol, our dialysis division is moving from distributor to manufacturer. This gives us additional credibility with customers, certainty in terms of supply, independence from competitors and the ability to develop new products in the future. Manufacturing in Turkey offers a significant advantage in terms of logistics compared to the current supply from the Far East. Furthermore, we significantly reduce our ecological footprint. Considering our ESG goals, this is a solid asset. The acquisition of Farmasol allows us to geographically expand Pollet Medical Group’s business and our dealer network. We are very much looking forward to the cooperation with Farmasol and warmly welcome our new colleagues!
