Fast Market Access, Low Risk
Interview with Philipp Ziehr, CEO of 1Q Health Group
The contract manufacturing industry is undergoing rapid change driven by technological innovations and the ongoing consolidation of the market. Amidst this transformation process, the 1Q Health Group has a clear mission: As a 'Digital Driven CDMO' (Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization), it aims to set new standards and establish itself as a leading partner in the industry. Its focus is on the development and manufacturing of pharmaceutical products and dietary supplements, emphasizing the highest quality standards and a consistent orientation towards the needs of its customers.
"We want to offer our customers maximum flexibility and agility to efficiently meet individual requirements," explains Philipp Ziehr, CEO of 1Q Health Group. The company is now a merger of specialized units: ABJ alive GmbH, Dronania Pharmaceuticals GmbH, and HKS Health Solutions GmbH. This structure allows us to offer customized solutions for a wide variety of customer types. In the 1Q Health Group, the agile online provider of dietary supplements finds just as reliable a partner as generic players or originators of pharmaceutical products.
"Quality is our top priority," emphasizes Nadja Fischer, Senior Manager Corporate Sales. "All 1Q Health locations have the highest standards with IFS, FSSC, or GMP certifications." The individual companies in the group offer a wide range of services from development and production to packaging and digital marketing.
"Our service does not end with the finished product. We also support our customers with all aspects of digital marketing and keep them informed about trends to stay successful in the market and up-to-date. Our strength lies in delivering tailor-made solutions for each customer," says Philipp Ziehr. The corporate group remains flexible and quickly responds to changing market demands.
Complete Solutions and Digital Infrastructure
"Our goal is to act as a one-stop-shop," explains the CEO. "This includes not only production and support in marketing but also logistics for our international clients." Thanks to comprehensive digital infrastructure, clients can benefit from an efficient process chain. Especially startups and companies wanting to explore new markets find a reliable partner in 1Q Health Group.
A rapidly growing area is the White Label business. "With our market-ready product concepts, we enable clients rapid market access ('Go To Market' within a month) at low risk," explains Nadja Fischer. This offering includes products that are scientifically sound or market-ready.
Future Perspectives
With around 250 employees and a clearly defined growth strategy, the 1Q Health Group is optimally positioned to continue expanding its market position in Europe, Asia, and the USA. "Our vision is to increase production capacities by far more than double in the coming years and to integrate additional companies into the group," explains Philipp Ziehr. With a clear focus on digitalization and innovation, the company creates a foundation for sustainable growth and future security.
