Global capabilities

Although firmly rooted in Germany, today we are very much a growing global business: since spreading our wings beyond Germany in the 1960s, we have continued to grow steadily and expand our market presence and product portfolio. We collaborate with commercial partners and multiple stakeholders from the pain management field and beyond in order to make our medicines available to patients.
