Our story
Over 75 years ago, we made our mark in the pharmaceutical space as the first producers of ethycellulose (EC) and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) excipients, known as ETHOCELTM and METHOCELTM. Since then, we have continued to develop some of the most well-known brands in the industry, including Avicel®, the first microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) excipient, POLYOX™ polyethylene oxide, which plays a pivotal role in osmotic pump technologies and other innovative drug delivery systems, and many more.
At Health and Pharma Solutions, our robust portfolio of polymer products drives innovation across pharmaceuticals, dietary supplements, and industrial sciences. These adaptable solutions enhance drug formulations and elevate reliability in essential applications worldwide.
While our name may have changed over the years, our passion and commitment for what we do has always remained the same. We’re an excipient powerhouse fueled by experts, scientists, problem-solvers and visionaries who share a passion for solving formulation challenges beyond imagination.
