Fresenius and Phlow Partner to Strengthen U.S. Supply of Essential Medicine

Fresenius Kabi, an operating company of Fresenius, has entered a first-of-its-kind partnership with U.S. manufacturer Phlow Corp. to establish a fully domestic, end-to-end supply chain for Epinephrine Injection, USP — an FDA designated essential medicine frequently at risk of shortage in the United States. 

Under the collaboration, Phlow will produce the U.S.-based API, while Fresenius Kabi manufactures the finished doses for hospitals and clinics across the country. With this initiative, Fresenius advances its local-for-local manufacturing strategy and supports national efforts to strengthen pharmaceutical security. The partnership reinforces the ambitions of #FutureFresenius as it expands Fresenius’ role as a leading global provider of lifesaving therapies, advancing resilient manufacturing that improves patient care and health-system stability. 

Pending regulatory approvals, epinephrine produced through this collaboration could be available to U.S. hospitals in 2027.
