Peter Wittner BSc

Peter Wittner, B.Sc., is an independent consultant specialising in the commercial aspects of generics with more than 30 years’ pharmaceutical experience. Before starting his own business, Peter headed the European sales and marketing departments of the UK generics companies Evans Medical and H.N. Norton, which later became part of IVAX. He later joined the Indian generic leader Ranbaxy as Managing Director to help set up its UK business and then returned to consultancy work.

Peter is a regular speaker and trainer on topics related to generics and biosimilars. His company Interpharm works with new market entrants on generic strategies, assists in business development for generic companies based outside the EU that are trying to enter the market and advises companies that are seeking to enlarge their product range.

While mainly oriented to the commercial side with services such as market intelligence and pricing overviews for example, Interpharm also advises on IP and patent issues as well as the legal background to the pharmaceutical industry in Europe and the US. In addition, Peter has increasingly become involved with biosimilars and has frequently spoken on the topic and run seminars on the subject.
