Addressing Talent Challenges with Prothya Biosolutions

Client: Prothya Biosolutions | Relationship established: September 2021 | Location: Amsterdam, Netherlands and Brussels, Belgium

The Client

Prothya Biosolutions was formed in 2021, when Plasma Industries Belgium integrated with Sanquin Plasma Products,  a former subsidiary of the Sanquin Blood Supply Foundation.

Prothya Biosolutions offers over 60 years of experience in the collection of blood plasma and production of plasma-derived medicinal products,  a long legacy of collaboration, innovation, and delivery of science-based solutions.

Thanks to their diverse background, they recognise the unique value of plasma-derived medicinal products for people and society, and reflect this in their ongoing transformation into a results-driven and global organisation.

Prothya Biosolutions uses advanced methods to isolate proteins from blood plasma and turn them into life-saving medicines. Prothya produces plasma-derived medicinal products under its own brand for use in immunology and critical care, and they make their knowledge and infrastructure available to various partners.
