Pharmaline is a specialized manufacturer of unregistered pharmacy products, based in Oldenzaal, the Netherlands. It offers pharmacies the full range of pharmacy compounding solutions with short delivery times, enabling patients to receive customized medication within one day.

The company is one of the few Dutch players whose facilities and production processes are structured to comply with the guidelines of the Dutch Health Care Inspectorate (IGZ) and Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) guidelines. Pharmaline was the first manufacturer in the Netherlands to offer full cold-chain logistics to pharmacies, and the first to include its products in IGZ’s official price list, enabling pharmacists to order their products in the same way they order regular medicines. The business’ innovative approach has positively impacted the healthcare landscape by ensuring efficient and compliant access to personalized medications for patients.

Gilde Healthcare invested in Pharmaline to finance its commercial expansion. The company has grown rapidly and served about 20% of all public pharmacies in the Netherlands at the end of 2013. Pharmaline was acquired by a strategic competitor in 2014.
