The Grünenthal Group
The Grünenthal Group is an independent, family-owned, international research-based pharmaceutical company headquartered in Aachen, Germany.
Building on its unique position in pain treatment, its objective is to become the most patient-centric company and thus to be a leader in therapy innovation. Grünenthal is one of the last remaining five research-oriented pharmaceutical companies with headquarters in Germany which sustainably invests in research and development. These investments amounted to about 26 percent of revenues in 2012.
Grünenthal with revenue growth driven by innovative pain brands
Grünenthal Group achieved total revenues of €973 mn in 2012. Adjusted revenues (excluding revenues from divested businesses) rose by 13 percent.
The increase was driven by growth of the global pain brands Palexia®/Tapentadol (up €36 mn) and Versatis®/Lidocaine patch (up €28 mn) as well as increased revenues from licences due to a successful product launch with Grünenthal´s INTAC® tamper resistant formulation technology. Revenues from the tapentadol license in the North American market increased as well.
