ProPharma acquires Croatian outsourcing firm, expands in Europe

NORTH CAROLINA, UNITED STATES — Research consulting organization (RCO) ProPharma Group (ProPharma) has acquired Croatia-based RCO Clinres Farmacija, subsequently expanding its presence in the European market.
The acquisition builds up ProPharma’s presence in Central and Eastern Europe. Clinres Farmacija operates in Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Romania, Bulgaria, North Macedonia, Montenegro, Georgia, and Albania.
The region is gaining considerable demand from clients who wish to avail services and gain access to advanced pharmaceutical, medical device, and diagnostic development programs.
