Alessandra Faccin, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Life Sciences at Ashland, visited our Latin America team in Mexico this past June. Her visit coincided with Ashland’s annual meeting for LATAM pharma distributors, which brought together our regional partners to align on commercial strategy and learn about our latest technologies. This allowed Alessandra the opportunity to meet with select distributors and strategic clients, as well as to experience firsthand the current landscape of the pharmaceutical segment in the region. While the industry as a whole faces macro challenges, there is a clearly positive outlook for the Mexican pharmaceutical market, with investments in new manufacturing capabilities by both local and multinational companies and the Mexican government that support steady growth in the region over the coming years. The expansion of access to healthcare services, along with the leadership of the private sector, further contributes to this optimistic environment.
