Phytogen's mission is to be a primary manufacturer and supplier of active pharmaceutical ingredients ("APIs") of the highest quality and purity to the traditional pharmaceutical industry. The Company has expertise in the extraction, isolation, purification and production of APIs derived from plants and other natural sources that can then be incorporated into regulated, finished prescription products to be sold by others. Phytogen has developed a strong reputation for continuity of supply and a competitive advantage in its ability to source important raw materials through the solid relationships it has established with suppliers of raw materials used in the production of APIs. The Company's exclusive access to certain essential raw materials places it in an excellent position to enter long-term supply contracts with pharmaceutical companies for the cGMP production of cost competitive APIs.
