Global R&D and Manufacturing presence
Research and Development is conducted at three sites in Europe and one in India. New products are sourced from our own internal Discovery organisation and in-licensed from external companies such as small biotechs. Establishing long-term partnerships is a cornerstone of Nycomed´s growth strategy.
Nycomed has 16 manufacturing sites: 5 centres of competence in Europe for global products as well as 11 production sites for regional products in fast-growing countries such as Brazil and Mexico. A major investment is being made in a new pharmaceutical plant in Russia, currently Nycomed’s biggest single market.
Nycomed provides branded medicines for hospitals, specialists and general practitioners, as well as over-the-counter (OTC) medicines. Our strong global brands complement product portfolios adapted to local preferences. Around the world, our guiding principle is to develop “medicines that matter”
