What Alvotech does

Develops and manufactures biosimilar versions of major biologic drugs for global markets.

Sells through marketing partners in each region instead of building its own sales force: it supplies the drug and shares in the sales, and also receives milestone payments when products are approved or launched. Its manufacturing is based in Reykjavik, Iceland. Founded by Robert Wessman, linked to Alvogen.

Products and services

  • Biosimilar to Humira (AVT02)
  • Biosimilars to Eylea and Stelara

Customers

  • Pharma distribution partners (Teva, STADA)
  • Health systems/payers globally

Where it sits in the supply chain

  • Health Care
  • Biotechnology
  • Biosimilar drug development and…

What could go right

  • Biologic patent cliff creating biosimilar opportunities
  • US interchangeability designations

What could go wrong

  • Biosimilar pricing competition
  • Regulatory and manufacturing compliance risk

Moat: narrow (regulatory licence, scale, process know-how). In-house biosimilar manufacturing at scale, but competes on price against multiple approved biosimilars.

Headquarters: Reykjavik, Iceland · Founded: 2013 · Employees: 1,460
