Researching, isolating and developing new and safer biological active pharmaceutical ingredients for human use have been Opocrin’s core business for over 50 years.
From the small Research Laboratory founded in the mid-1960s by pharmacologist Prof. Pietro Bianchini, it has become a world leader in the production of heparin derivatives and one of the biggest players in the API sector. Since 2021, with the acquisition of Omikron Italia S.r.l., the Group has been a truly integrated pharma enterprise, from active pharmaceutical ingredient to patient.
We explore
new horizons
Under the guidance of the third generation of the Bianchini Saetti family, the Opocrin Group is now a rapidly expanding business that in just a few years has improved its competitiveness by completely innovating the supply chain to guarantee better control over procurement, more efficient customer and vendor management and greater independence from market fluctuations. This is possible because we pair our growth targets with a business model that respects people and the environment.

Core values
The power of science at the service of life
Research and technological development have always been the heart of our business. This is why we partner with institutions, universities and start-ups to maintain an innovative approach that takes into consideration new therapeutic needs, to discover new unexpressed potential to be made available to our customers.
Quality
system
Within the Opocrin Group we go beyond merely complying with the legal regulations in force in the countries where we work by applying a continuous improvement approach to our quality systems. We work to improve our standards, day after day.
Research
and innovation
We specialise in complexity, which we consider an added value. We believe in on-going research, working side-by-side with the world of science. We research well aware that behind the numbers and formulae lies the chance to improve people’s quality of life, to give a future to those who might not have one.
Responsibility
is well-being
Our values are more than just words. For Opocrin, being a reliable business means transforming them into tangible actions towards our customers, vendors, employees and stakeholders. The responsibility of each individual is the key to the well-being of everyone, both inside and outside the Opocrin Group.
