Peptonic Medical

In November 2020 and February 2021, Peptonic Medical shipped goods to Yuanjia Bio in China for a total value of 406,000 EUR (approx. 4.4 MSEK). However, the goods were never paid for. As a result, Peptonic terminated the distribution agreement with Yuanjia Bio in August 2021 and filed an arbitration application against its former partner at a Chinese court. The court has now ruled in favor of Peptonic Medical and ordered Yuanjia Bio to settle the outstanding debt to Peptonic.

The arbitration procedure in China means that the local party becomes personally liable for debts or claims ruled by the court. This increases the likelihood that the defendant will accept the ruling and pay the outstanding debt.

"This is good news for us. However, we still need to collect the debt, but with the court ruling in our favor, our chances of success increase significantly. This is an important victory since it also shows we can defend Peptonic's properties in challenging situations," said Erik Sundquist, CEO of Peptonic Medical.
