PARIS, Oct. 17, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- ProductLife Group (PLG), the specialized global provider of regulatory, scientific, vigilance and quality services for the life sciences industries, announces the acquisition of Intexo Società Benefit, an Italian consultancy specializing in regulatory and market access support.

Founded in 1976, Intexo Società Benefit provides clients with an integrated market access and regulatory affairs offering covering access strategies, market and payer research, health economics evaluations, patient advocacy, negotiations and contracting, pricing and reimbursement as well as strategic regulatory. The group specializes in highly innovative products, including oncology, orphan drugs and advanced therapeutic medicinal products (ATMPs).

Mariangela Prada, CEO of Intexo, said: "The merger with PLG creates the opportunity to provide a Europe-wide market access platform, while paving the way to developing a global market access community.
