PRESS RELEASE
Gujarat Themis Biosyn Ltd. completes acquisition of Japan-based MicroBiopharm
Japan Co., Ltd.
Acquisition to boost Company’s fermentation capabilities, product portfolio and
geographical footprint
Mumbai, September 18, 2026: Gujarat Themis Biosyn Limited (“GTBL” or the “Company”) (BSE:
506879, NSE: GUJTHEM), today announced the completion of the acquisition of 100% equity
shareholding in MicroBiopharm Japan Co., Ltd. (“MBJ”), Japan, through Themis Biosyn Japan
Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary incorporated in Japan. The transaction, first announced on May
22, 2026, has now been closed following receipt of all customary regulatory approvals and
satisfaction of closing conditions.
The acquisition was made from funds managed or advised by T Capital Partners Co., Ltd., a Japan-
based private equity fund, for a total consideration of JPY 21.5 billion, funded through an optimal mix
of debt and equity. The transaction is expected to be EPS accretive for GTBL. The existing MBJ
management team will continue to lead operations.
With over 60 years of experience, MBJ operates three GMP-compliant manufacturing plants with a
strong FDA and PMDA inspection track record. For FY26, MBJ has registered revenue of JPY 9.5 billion
,with a business mix spanning Proprietary APIs/Intermediates, CDMO, CDMO Bio and Developed
Pharmaceuticals (bio)/Non-Pharma. The company has serviced its top six customers for over two
decades, with approximately 40% of its revenue generated from outside Japan.
Strategic Rationale and Synergies:
The acquisition accelerates GTBL's transition towards becoming a fermentation-based, globally
integrated CDMO, and is expected to deliver the following key benefits:
● Precision Fermentation & Enzyme-based bioconversion platforms: Entry into precision
fermentation through MBJ's proprietary P450 enzyme library (hydroxylation) and thereby
reducing reliance on traditional chemical routes.
● Proprietary Products – APIs: Supply of API/Intermediates for Oncology,
Immunosuppressants, Peptides and Antibiotics to leading global pharma companies,
including Big Pharma, broadening GTBL's product depth and revenue diversification.
● Advanced Biologics & Novel Modalities: Access to Plasmid DNA, ADC conjugation, and
recombinant protein technologies, positioning the combined platform in high-growth,
innovation-led pharmaceutical segments.
● Precision Fermentation: Entry into precision fermentation through MBJ's proprietary P450
enzyme library (hydroxylation), complementing GTBL's existing fermentation strengths and
reducing reliance on traditional chemical routes.
● Scalable, Regulated Manufacturing Footprint: Three GMP-compliant sites with strong FDA
and PMDA inspection track records, enabling expanded access to regulated global markets
and a fully integrated CDMO platform spanning discovery, development and commercial
manufacturing.
● Diversified Global Revenue Base & Big Pharma Access: ~40% of MBJ's revenues are
generated from outside Japan, backed by long-standing relationships with blue-chip pharma
customers across Asia, Europe and North America – enabling cross-selling and accelerated
market penetration.
● India Cost Advantage for Margin Expansion: Opportunity to leverage GTBL's India
manufacturing scale to improve cost competitiveness and drive margin expansion on high-
value products.
Commenting on the completion of the acquisition, Dr. Sachin Patel, Managing Director, Gujarat
Themis Biosyn Limited, said,
“The successful completion of this acquisition marks a defining milestone in GTBL's journey towards
becoming a fermentation-based, globally integrated CDMO. MBJ brings to us over six decades of
fermentation expertise, a proprietary P450 enzyme platform, and deep, long-standing relationships
with leading global pharmaceutical companies. Together, we are well placed to expand our presence
across various avenues including oncology, immunosuppressants, peptides and advanced
biologics, while leveraging GTBL's India manufacturing scale to drive growth. We warmly welcome
the MBJ team, who will continue to lead operations, and look forward to building this platform
together for a mutually rewarding journey ahead.”
Commenting on the completion of the acquisition, Mr. Shiota, CEO, MicroBiopharm Japan Co., Ltd ,
said,
“This acquisition paves the way for a mutually rewarding journey, combining MBJ's precision
fermentation capabilities, biotechnology platforms, and strong relationships with leading
pharmaceutical companies, with GTBL's long-standing expertise in fermentation technology, large-
scale manufacturing capabilities, and broad portfolio. Together, these complementary strengths will
enable us to create greater value and, as part of the Themis Group, grow into a leading CDMO with a
strong global footprint.”
