Bad Vilbel, August 18, 2015 –

Today, only a few weeks after taking office, Alexander Bulay, the newly-appointed Consul General of the Russian Federation in Frankfurt am Main, visited STADA Arzneimittel AG as the first German company. Bulay and STADA's Chairman of the Executive Board, Hartmut Retzlaff, discussed the economic relationship between Germany and Russia, among other things. Their major topic in this context was the Group’s engagement in Russia, where STADA plays an important role as it is the number two regional producer in the Russian pharmaceutical market.

"It's an honor to welcome Mister Bulay so shortly after his taking office. Russia is, after all, a very important market for us to which we remain committed despite the political differences and the present difficult economic situation", says Retzlaff, pleased about the meeting with the new Consul General. During their conversation, both sides were confident that the tensions faced by the economic relationship between Germany and Russia will be eased in the foreseeable future.

"I really wanted to establish personal contact with STADA as soon as possible. Not only does the company play a vital role in the Russian pharmaceutical market, it is also a very reliable partner in the region", says Bulay about the reasons behind his visit to Bad Vilbel.
