About Benta
Benta is a French pharmaceutical holding that develops and manufactures medicines, from active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) to finished products, and also works on relocating generic drug production to France and Italy. Its Benta Lyon unit provides CMO services and produces its own generic catalogue, including paracetamol and amoxicillin, on a 16-hectare GMP/BPF-certified site. NerPharMa, based in Nerviano near Milan, formulates and produces APIs and finished forms, with a focus on highly active products and complex processes such as antibody-drug conjugates and biosimilars. Stratégie Santé provides regulatory affairs, product development and market access services.
Customers are pharmaceutical partners that outsource development and manufacturing, and the pharmacies and hospitals that receive the group's medicines. Revenue comes from contract manufacturing and from the group's own generic medicines.
The company was founded in 2020 and is headquartered in Saint-Genis-Laval, near Lyon. It has a presence in Nerviano, Italy, through NerPharMa, which Benta acquired in 2026. Stratégie Santé was integrated in 2025. A 42 million euro investment plan, supported by France 2030, is modernising the Saint-Genis-Laval site.
Product: Contract development and manufacturing of APIs and finished dosage forms, plus own-brand generic medicines such as paracetamol and amoxicillin.
