The Abiqui (Brazilian Industry Association
of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient) was founded
in 1983 to represent and defend the pharmaceutical
and API industry. At the beginning of 2010, it also
represented companies engaged in the production of
pharmaceutical adjuvants, non-active pharmaceutical
inputs, and service providers in the sector.
The main objective of Abiqui is to stimulate production,
technological development, and exports of active
pharmaceutical ingredients manufactured in Brazil.
Given the nature of the provider of the drug segment,
the entity brings together the various links in this
chain, promoting internationalization, research and
development actions, and working with the sanitary
control and promotion agencies.
