DKSH and Sanofi mark 10 years of partnership for sustainable growth in Vietnam

With a vision to lead the fast-moving consumer healthcare industry, Sanofi has chosen DKSH as a strategic partner since 2013 to make Lactacyd one of the most favorite brands in Vietnam.

2023 is the year that Sanofi celebrates its 10-year partnership with DKSH along with its 70th year of establishment in this market.

Sanofi is an innovative global healthcare company with the purpose of chasing the miracles of science to improve people’s lives. “We have a vision that leads the movement of “FMCH” (fast-moving consumer healthcare) – where the dynamism of FMCG culture meets the stability of the healthcare industry – and becomes the best FMCH company in the world and for the world,” Kevin Doak, General Manager of Consumer Healthcare, Sanofi Vietnam, stated. “For the Vietnamese market, we believe that DKSH is the perfect partner to help us realize this vision.”

With extensive experience and in-depth local insights, DKSH is now trusted by Sanofi for providing a comprehensive portfolio of services, including warehousing, distribution, sales, and after-sales services for all Lactacyd products in Vietnam.

Since 1991, DKSH Vietnam has been the trusted partner of many businesses across four main business units, namely Healthcare, Consumer Goods, Performance Materials, and Technology. With a capillary distribution network and deep market insights across 37 markets all over the world as competitive advantages, DKSH’s activities are guided by the common purpose of enriching people’s lives through its contributions to sustainable development in the markets and communities where it operates.

As a bridge-builder among businesses, DKSH leverages its global experience combined with in-depth local market knowledge to help businesses succeed, especially in the Consumer Goods industry in Vietnam. Kim Le Huy, Vice President of Business Unit Consumer Goods, DKSH Vietnam, said: "In line with the Group's strategy, we apply our expertise to combine international standards with local insights to generate a proper development orientation for each partner, in different markets.”

Together with DKSH, Sanofi has gradually moved closer to its goal when Lactacyd's revenue increased 20 times after 10 years of cooperation. In the meantime, Lactacyd has also become one of Vietnam's most popular products.

"We appreciate DKSH's strong expertise and excellent support for Sanofi's business over the past decade in the Vietnamese market. The 20-fold increase in sales motivates us to work together to 'conquer' many more significant milestones in the coming period," added Kevin Doak, General Manager of Consumer Healthcare, Sanofi Vietnam.
