The IFA GmbH is a founding member of securPharm Association and supports initiatives to enhance counterfeit protection, in particular the project securPharm  in which the German Medicine Manufacturers Associations, the wholesalers and pharmacists (stakeholders) developed a system to implement the requirements of the European Directive 2011/62/EU and provide a defense against counterfeit medicines.
