Grifols has completed the sale of a 20% equity stake in Shanghai RAAS (SRAAS) to Haier Group for RMB 12.5 billion (EUR 1.6 billion). The strategic alliance aims to enhance China's healthcare system through synergies between Grifols' plasma and diagnostic expertise and Haier's healthcare solutions portfolio. Grifols retains a 6.58% stake in SRAAS and a seat on the Board of Directors. The exclusive albumin distribution agreement between Grifols and SRAAS is extended for 10 years, with an option to prolong it to 2044. Proceeds from the sale will be used by Grifols to reduce debt. The collaboration seeks to capitalize on China's growing demand for albumin and expand their footprint in life sciences, clinical medicine, and biotechnology.
The transaction has received regulatory approvals and compliance confirmation from the Shenzhen Stock Exchange. Grifols and SRAAS have worked together for four years, during which the Chinese hemoderivatives market has seen double-digit growth.
