Ferring Pharmaceuticals, a world leader in research

Ferring Pharmaceuticals is a research-driven, specialty biopharmaceutical group committed to helping people build healthy families and live better lives. Ferring is a leader in reproductive medicine and maternal health, and in specialty areas within gastroenterology and urology.

The company's research activities and products are connected by a common focus of providing tailored treatments that work on the body's own terms, enabling doctors to combat numerous diseases and medical conditions.

Ferring has its own manufacturing facilities in several European countries, in South America, Israel, India and China. It is also currently building new facilities in the USA. With the acquisition of Bio-Technology General in 2005, it has capabilities in recombinant biotechnology as well as more traditional pharmaceutical manufacturing.

Ferring's marketing, medical services and sales teams, led by the corporate headquarters in Saint-Prex, Switzerland, operate from nearly 60 countries and employ over 6,000 people throughout the world, while treatments are available in 110 countries. This expansion has allowed Ferring to maintain a double-digit annual growth rate over the last two decades.
