PI Industries - Superior Business Model

Some notes on recently acquired cos

Therachem research medilab: is an intermediate supplier, specializing in phenol, pyridine and benzene based intermediates. Their large customers are Biocryst Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: BCRX) and Cambrex Karlskoga (based out of Sweden).

Biocryst Pharma has one commercialized molecule called ORLADEYO (berotralstat) which is scaling up rapidly. I think Therachem provides a couple of intermediates for this molecule.

A very nice presentation on the co. from the JP Morgan summit.
