Perrigo Company
is a US-based healthcare supplier that leads the world in the development,
production and distribution of generic prescription and OTC drugs, nutritional
products, infant formula, active pharmaceutical
ingredients (API), and medical and pharmaceutical diagnostic products.
Perrigo’s
motivation is simple and clear – to be the leading supplier of quality and
affordable healthcare products. Quality is one of Perrigo’s major values. It is
a priority, not just a concept. A significant amount of resources and time is
devoted to efforts that seek to achieve the highest level of quality in
execution and products.
A division of
Perrigo called Consumer Healthcare is responsible for the manufacturing
operations in Mexico, the UK and the US. This division is supporting the
company’s OTC drugs and nutritional products. Its generic drugs contain the
same active ingredients as the branded ones but can be purchased at much lesser
prices, making Perrigo a major supplier of store-brand generic drugs.
Perrigo is also
operating the Rx Pharmaceuticals division, which focuses on developing,
manufacturing and selling of generic prescription drugs. These drugs are sold
primarily in US markets. Its manufacturing facilities are located in Israel and
the US.
To continue its
active business ventures in nutritionals, Perrigo purchased PBM Products Llc.
and is now known as Perrigo Nutritionals. PBM is known to be the first to
introduce store brand infant formulas in the US. Now under the helm of Perrigo, the division
is the supplier of infant formulas to seven major retailers aside from
supplying infant formulas to small retailers.
In the business
of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients, Perrigo develops, manufactures and sells
active chemicals and ingredients used by the industry of generic drugs. This
business is primarily carried out by the Israel-based manufacturing facilities
along with those located in China and India.
Perrigo’s
Medical and Pharmaceutical Diagnostic Products deals with the leading drug
companies for exclusive supply and distribution of diagnostic kits. Again, this
business is carried out by the Israel-based manufacturing facilities.
