To our employees, we are an exciting and invigorating place to work, an ambitious and nimble company where courageous innovation is encouraged and expected — not just of scientists but of every employee. Our manufacturing people take pride in our leadership in producing biologics, with more than 100,000 liters of capacity spread across three facilities. Our customer service representatives handle more than 800,000 calls per year, offering straightforward information, assistance and patient services. Across the company, in marketing, sales, quality control and human resources, people are empowered to challenge conventional wisdom and propose better ways of doing things.
To our partners and investors, we are a profitable company with a rich and diverse pipeline. We have the resources, financial strength and vision to successfully discover, develop, manufacture and commercialize new products.
