Galenica expands its digital presence with the acquisition of Puravita

Galenica AG has announced that it will increase its stake in Puravita AG to 80% by early 2026, thereby becoming the majority shareholder. This strategic move aims to strengthen its digital presence in the drugstore and over-the-counter (OTC) sector. Through this acquisition, Galenica continues to diversify its business by effectively combining its existing digital and physical offerings.

Puravita, an online retailer with a wide range of over 45,000 products in Switzerland, now benefits from Galenica's robust network to enhance its logistics, marketing, and product assortment operations. This synergy with Galenica allows Puravita to leverage its partner's infrastructure and scale to accelerate its growth in the Swiss market.
