Our unique commitment
Pain is a huge burden. It impacts patients – as well as their families, friends, caregivers and society as a whole. 75 years of developing innovative medicines for patients, we are driven to seek new solutions to relieve pain.

Responsibility
At Grünenthal, conducting our business responsibly is a core part of our company’s strategy and culture. As a global leader in pain management, Grünenthal aspires to create a positive impact for society – in our core business and beyond. We are guided by integrity, transparency and the highest ethical standards.

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.

Pipeline
In our quest to improve the lives of even more patients in need, we enrich our expertise in pain management with a complementary diversification into devices and technologies.
