Galenica Expands Digital Footprint with Puravita Acquisition

Galenica AG is set to expand its online offerings by increasing its stake in Puravita AG from 34% to 80% at the start of January 2026, becoming the majority shareholder. This move is part of Galenica's strategy to enhance its digital presence and diversify its offerings, specifically in the drugstore and over-the-counter segments. The acquisition strengthens Galenica’s integration of digital and physical services, complementing its existing pharmacy networks such as Amavita, Sun Store, and Coop Vitality.

Puravita, established in 2016 and a Galenica partner since 2020, is known for its robust digital sales expertise and significant online catalogue, offering over 45,000 products. The company is a leading player in Switzerland's digital pharmacy, drugstore, and health food markets. The deal positions Puravita to leverage Galenica's extensive market infrastructure to fuel continued growth and innovation.
