In 2008, Nexol and Celltrion established a global distribution agreement.[6]

In 2009, distribution channels were established in America, Oceania, Europe (Hospira) and Nexol, Inc. renamed as Celltrion Healthcare Co., Ltd.

In 2010, distribution channels were established in Japan (Nippon Kayaku), Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), Eastern Europe, and the Middle East (Egis).

In 2013, distribution channels were added in Europe (Mundipharma, Biogaran, and Kern).[7][8]
