April 8, 2010
SCHAUMBURG, IL. Sagent Pharmaceuticals, Inc.,
a privately held specialty pharmaceutical company, announced today that
it has raised $40 million through two tranches of a strategic Series B
financing. In this round, a $10 million investment was made by Zhejiang
Hisun Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. (Hisun), and the remaining $30 million was
contributed by an unnamed China-focused private equity investment fund.
To date, including this financing, Sagent has raised $153 million in
equity capital.
“We believe that these investments speak to the successful execution of
our business model, enrich the Company’s strategic partnerships, and
extend Sagent’s access to additional products and facilities,” commented
Jeffrey M. Yordon, Sagent’s chief executive officer, founder and
chairman of the board. “Sagent has gained expanded access to Hisun’s
extensive portfolio of active pharmaceutical ingredients and, shortly,
to its finished injectable product capabilities. In addition, Sagent’s
reach into China will be extended through the Chinese investment fund’s
strong relationships in the rapidly maturing injectable marketplace in
that region.”
