"For EQL, which today is primarily focused on Europe, the collaboration with Adalvo gives us the opportunity to quickly reach out with Mellozzan to countries where we ourselves currently have extremely limited contact areas," says Axel Schörling, CEO of EQL. "Adalvo brings to the table its regulatory expertise and then will put its extensive commercial engine to work with a view of laying out a globalization roadmap for Mellozzan. Adalvo will be commercialising Mellozzan through its sister companies and strategic partners alike."
