Our History

Inventor and entrepreneur Tiddo W. Renout registered in 1984 with the European Patent Office [EP0187171A1] a primer composition patent for polyolefinic substrates, providing non-surface treated adhesion to both polyolefinics and adhesives used on non-polyolefinic substrates. For 20 years, until patent expiry, the polymer was the backbone recipe widely used in the chemical industry by Allied Chem, Bayer, Lord Corp and Henkel AG.

With the expansion of our pharmaceutical business unit, the corporate headquarters relocated to Switzerland, fostering closer relationships with local pharmaceutical clients.

The M&A division boosts turnover with the sale-off of retail pharmacies during the Boots Group merger with Alliance Unichem to create Alliance Boots Plc. The downstream consolidation of the UK market lead to establishing partnerships with manufacturers to render supply chain services for global clinical studies.

The group expands to Rio de Janeiro after five years supporting local State and Federal organizations for the importation of unregistered therapeutic treatments. This marked our entry into Latin American, which over the years followed with Argentina, Colombia, Mexico and Uruguay.

Dr. Danny A. Renout has been elected to the Board of Directors, continuing family control of the Group as it expands into clinical trial packaging and labelling.

A new GDP facility opens in Spain, supporting our service offerings for southern European clients. Adding to our German and Swiss facilities, this new facility positions the Group as a strong player in the EU CTS industry.

After 34 years, the Group has decided on rebranding to EarlyHealth Group (“EHG”) and sharing a common logo and corporate slogan of Making Healthcare Accessible. With the business units focusing on supporting the development of new therapies and providing early access programs to ensure patient accessibility, the words Early and Accessible were the key factor in the stakeholder’s decision for changing the name and brand.

After 26 years with HQ in Switzerland, the corporate head quarter has moved to United Arab Emirates, in a 250m height commercial sky scraper in Dubai. Centrally positioned between Asia and Europe, the vision of the United Arab Emirates aligns with that of our group: diversity, growth and molding the future. With the move of HQ, our Swiss office has been integrated into the facilities of our GDP depot in Basel.

Representing the group locally in Japan, our new Osaka GDP facility has been inaugurated to allow additional services of IOR, long term storage, regional procurement and daily direct to site deliveries.
