Following the recent acquisition of Quoretex in May 2022, ProductLife Group (PLG), a global leader in regulatory and compliance services for the life sciences industry, expands its service offering by acquiring Pharma IT.

The acquisition of Pharma IT will enable PLG to strengthen its foothold in Northern Europe and offer new services in the context of life sciences digitalization.

Paris, France – ProductLife Group (PLG), a global provider of specialized services for the Pharmaceutical, Medtech and Biotech industries, recently acquired Pharma IT, a life sciences consulting company headquartered in Copenhagen, Denmark.
