Hanmi expands efpeglenatide reach with Mexico distribution deal

28 January 2026

South Korean drugmaker Hanmi Pharmaceutical (KRX: 128940) has signed an exclusive distribution agreement with Mexico’s Laboratorios Sanfer covering efpeglenatide and its Dapalon diabetes franchise. The deal hands Sanfer responsibility for regulatory approval, marketing, distribution and sales in Mexico.

Hanmi will supply efpeglenatide, its long-acting GLP-1-based obesity candidate, alongside Dapalon Tab and Dapalon Duo SR Tab. The agreement marks another step in Hanmi’s push to re-establish efpeglenatide internationally after regaining global rights several years ago.
