"Germany is a good example of cooperation between public organisations and private companies in order to guarantee the nationwide supply of plasma. At European level, better protection of patients and donors will be regulated in future by the EU SoHO (Substances of Human Origin) Regulation, thus creating standardised competitive conditions," said Peter Janssen, CEO of Biotest AG.

The collected plasma is processed exclusively in Germany at Biotest AG in Dreieich. Regular audits in Germany ensure that the high legal and internal quality and safety requirements are met.
