Portfolio development

Recent years have seen an increasing focus on consumer healthcare products, in addition to the established niche prescription medicines which formed the original focus of the company’s activities. Our products cover a wide range of therapy areas.

Over the years, the business has expanded its UK head office in Chippenham, Wiltshire, and is now one of the main employers in the area.
