Healthy outlook for Virbac
A BIG improve in livestock values and a return to good seasonal conditions in the dead and buried 18 months have sent demand for animal health products leaping, distinctively for preventative vaccines and drenches.With drought-breaking shower across eastern Australia during the 2009-10 summer and falls continuing to breed impressive pasture growth in many areas, producers have spurt been ramping up stock treatment programs to beat a reflex in parasite and health issues accompanying the good seasons.
The timing of the seasonal boost after years of drought could hardly have been more fortuitous for Virbac Australia which last year began manufacturing for the $60 million a year preventative animal vaccine superstore.
In January 2010 Virbac bought the Australian brands and plant assets of its former rival, Fort Dodge Animal Health, which was put up for sale when Fort Double-talk's parent pharmaceutical company, Wyeth, was sold to pandemic player, Pfizer.
The Fort Dodge acquisition by French-based Virbac
Cause & Effect: The long-term impact of mergers and acquisitions
Pfizer acquires Wyeth, sells many of the Fort Dodge products to Boehringer Ingelheim, and returns to Virbac the distribution rights for its equine tapeworm parasiticides. Boehringer Ingelheim gears up to incorporate a new set of products, and Virbac grants distribution rights to the parasiticides to Bimeda. Meanwhile, Henry Schein and Butler Animal Health Supply join forces to create a $1.3 billion distributor, Butler Schein Animal Health. A month in the life of the veterinary supply chain.
What is the long-term impact of all these changes on Veterinary Advantage readers? We went straight to the sources to find out the answers. Following is what we learned.
Butler Schein won’t stop growing
Two strong organizations, a bunch of years of experience, and the determination to get things right without undue delay should make the marriage of NLS Henry Schein and Butler Animal Health Supply a strong and vibrant one, according to newly named chairman and CEO of Butler Schein Animal Health, Kevin R. Vasquez.
Speaking with Veterinary Advantage in mid-December, Vasquez predicted that the details of the merger – including consolidation of the sales force, distribution centers, product lines, etc. - should be worked out in the near future. “We’re all doing the deep dive now,” he said. “We will be responsible as we go forward in determining what is best for our customers, our employees and our business, as we lay out a plan in a competently aggressive fashion. We know we can’t linger in this process, but also that we have to make intelligent, substantive and caring decisions.”
The bottom line, Vasquez suggested, is not so much cutback or consolidation as it is growth. To wit:
A combined company that is No. 1 in the animal health market, with sales of roughly $1.3 billion (including agency sales). (Minus agency sales, the total is approximately $850 million.) A combined sales force of...Virbac Animal Health - News
