Alex Huyebsn appointed as CEO of HALIXAlex Huybens, Master of Business Administration (MBA) and with a degree in Engineering, started his career at HAL Allergy in 2003.

"Alex Huybens is the right business leader for HAL Allergy and HALIX", says Harry Flore, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of the Group and former CEO of the Company. "Alex Huybens has a proven track record of translating business opportunities into value-creating growth."
Alex Huybens took over the role as Chief Operations Officer in the newly established HALIX B.V. creating a Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization (CDMO) for GMP-manufacturing of biologics for small- and midsized biotech companies as well as for big pharma (on BSL2 and BSL3-level).

"In my role as CEO of HAL Allergy and HALIX, my focus will be on realizing the opportunities the markets are offering for us. While the further development of HALIX including the expansion
towards cell & gene therapy is on top of my list, HAL Allergy through its existing immunotherapies as well as its pipeline portfolio holds vast opportunities for us. By forming a bridge between both
companies, I want to be the number one contact for clients, partners as well as our employees."
HAL Allergy specializes in the development, production and distribution of allergen immunotherapies for the treatment and prevention of allergic diseases. With a highly competitive product portfolio, including subcutaneous and sublingual products, and a future-oriented pipeline portfolio, HAL Allergy works intensively in collaboration with the world’s allergy specialists. Through its pipeline portfolio (including AIT candidates for food, especially peanut, in clinical and preclinical stage), HAL Allergy is well-positioned to meet its growth ambitions and enhance the quality of life for millions of people.
Alex Huybens, will head the Board of Directors of the HAL Allergy Group with the co-members Florian Rösch (CCFO), Dr. Hans van Schijndel (CRDO) and Gareth West (COO).
