Ferring Pharmaceuticals is a research-driven biopharmaceutical company devoted to identifying, developing and marketing innovative products in the fields of reproductive health, urology, gastroenterology, endocrinology and osteoarthritis.
The company’s research activities and products are connected by a common thread focused on the provision of tailored treatments that work on the body’s own terms to enable doctors to combat numerous diseases and medical conditions.
The company has gained international recognition over the last 20 years for the creation of inventive medications that improve the quality of life of children and adults all around the world.
Ferring has its own production facilities in several European countries, in South America, Israel and China. 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 corporate headquarters in Saint-Prex, Switzerland, operate from more than 50 countries and employ more than 4000 people throughout the world, while treatments are available in more than 70 countries. This expansion has allowed Ferring to maintain a double digit annual growth rate over the last two decades.
Ferring’s R&D projects complement Ferring’s product portfolio and will add a new generation of products to some of the company’s most successful specialty brands. R&D facilities are located in Denmark, USA, Israel, India and China.
Ferring is committed to a future where it will continue to provide new and innovative medicines by utilising existing and acquired skills and the development of pioneering technologies and, where necessary, through partnerships with academic institutes and other companies.
For fifty years, we have been at the forefront of innovation in the field of naturally occurring human peptides. We have developed treatments in areas that span the human life cycle, including: reproductive health, endocrinology, gastroenterology and urology:
Ferring’s infertility treatments give infertile couples the chance to have babies
In obstetrics, Ferring helps premature children to be born healthy and without handicaps
With treatments in endocrinology, Ferring gives children the chance to overcome growth deficiencies
Ferring’s inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) treatments enable young adults with IBD to live a normal life
In urology, Ferring’s treatment for nocturia and bedwetting helps adults and children to an undisturbed night’s sleep
Ferring’s testosterone replacement treatment improves the key symptoms of low testosterone, reduces fat and improves muscle strength and mood
Ferring’s hormonal therapy for prostate cancer offers a new treatment option to men with an advanced hormone-dependent cancer
Ferring’s strength is our extensive knowledge of peptides and the role they play in the human body.
