Hospira brings proven leadership to the hospital products marketplace. With its more than 70-year history of excellence, Hospira is built on a solid and distinct platform. The Austrian subsidiary was built in January 2011. Before that, Hospira´s products were sold in Austria over years via distribution partners.
Through its offering of high-quality, lower-cost alternatives to proprietary medications, Hospira continues to help reduce the overall costs of healthcare — to improve both the affordability of care for patients and the financial strength of the global healthcare system. The company also is a pioneer in providing innovative solutions to improve patient and healthcare worker safety.
