The genesis of the ESFRI network

In 2015, Amoros Nature, EVRA and Pharmanager Ingredients had already been working together for almost 10 years in “chain mode”. Each with its own skills and expertise: Amoros Nature offering whole and cut plants, EVRA transforming them into extracts, and Pharmanager Ingredients providing new developments, regulatory and scientific support, and finally the sales force. So, naturally, it was necessary to materialize this natural cooperation based on the shared values of the founders.
