In 1950 in Malmö, Sweden, Dr. Frederik Paulsen founded Laboratoriet Nordiska hormone, which in 1954 changed its name to Ferring.
A world leader in peptide hormones, Ferring was a pioneer in developing and selling pharmaceutical products based on natural hormones, the pituitary-produced peptide. Dr. Paulsen was convinced that these new compounds could be used to supplement deficiencies and abnormalities, making an invaluable role in the treatment of various diseases.
Five decades later, Dr. Paulsen’s predictions have proven inaccurate. Today, the peptides are widely used in various treatments of Ferring.
Over the past years Ferring has expanded its activities beyond its European base and now have subsidiaries operating in over 40 countries, including Brazil, which is the company’s fastest-growing subsidiary. Its annual turnover is 700 million and has over 3,000 employees. Over the next three to five years, the group aims to triple sales in Brazil.
