Dr. Vesta Geitner shares how Brenntag supports pharmaceutical and nutraceutical manufacturers with high-quality ingredients and full-service solutions across EMEA.

What is your expertise? 

As Industry Market Manager for APIs and Supplements at Brenntag Pharma EMEA, I manage our portfolio of active pharmaceutical and nutraceutical ingredients. With a scientific background in chemistry and years of experience in supplier management across regions, I work directly with manufacturers and customers to ensure materials are sourced, supplied and supported with confidence. 

What product or solution do you focus on? 

I focus on high-quality APIs such as vitamins and minerals, including high-purity salts from our partner K+S Minerals and Agriculture GmbH. Our key products include APISAL® Sodium Chloride GMP grade, Potassium Chloride 99.9% KCl Ph.Eur., USP and HD-NaCl. These natural, additive-free salts are refined through controlled processes to meet high pharmacopoeial purity standards. 

They are used in a wide range of applications such as infusion and dialysis solutions, enteral nutrition, oral rehydration products and biopharma production. Combined with our regulatory support and local service capabilities, I help customers meet strict compliance and performance needs. 

How does this benefit our customers? 

We provide more than raw materials. Customers rely on us for technical advice, regulatory documentation and reliable service. From sampling and repacking to compliant warehousing, we offer value-added support through our local facilities. This makes complex sourcing and delivery processes simpler, faster and more predictable. 

What trends are shaping your work? 

An aging population and evolving healthcare systems are increasing the demand for safe, high-quality ingredients. Vitamins and mineral salts remain essential in many formulations. We help customers respond to these trends with the right products and the right support. 

Anything else to add? 

We work with top API producers and manage the supply chain from end to end. With expert teams in place and direct control over logistics and compliance, we make sure your materials arrive ready to use and fully supported.
