March 8, 2010 | A version of this story appeared in Volume 88, Issue 10

Watson Pharmaceuticals will sell its 31% stake in Taiwan’s ScinoPharm, a custom producer of active pharmaceutical ingredients, to Uni-President. A major food manufacturer in Taiwan and China, Uni-President already owns a substantial portion of ScinoPharm. The firm’s other major shareholders are Taiwan Sugar and the Taiwanese government.

In 2006, Watson acquired the Indian pharmaceutical ingredients maker Sekhsaria Chemicals.
