A German chemical and pharmaceutical company, Altana, said that it was selling its drugs business to Nycomed Holding of Denmark for 4.5 billion euros ($5.75 billion), following through on its intention to split the company and focus on its chemicals operation. Altana, based in Bad Homburg outside Frankfurt, is selling the business because it is too small to compete in the global drug industry. Altana said it would focus on its specialty chemicals business and keep its stock exchange listing. Nycomed, which focuses on prescription drugs for gastrointestinal and respiratory diseases, is owned by a consortium of private equity companies: the Blackstone Group, CSFB Private Equity, NIB Capital Private Equity and Nordic Capital. It will distribute AltanaÂs top-selling drug, the ulcer treatment Pantoprazol, in Nordic countries and Belgium.
