We are proud of the fact that we have created one of the largest and most modern laboratories for the production of injectable products in Europe, a family of approximately 900 employees, a company with its production base in Greece but also a strong international imprint, with exports in about 90 countries. Our collaborations with international pharmaceutical companies which now allow us to make available in Greece, in addition to generic medicines, innovative therapies, biological products, medicine for chronic or rare diseases, which save lives. To achieve all this, we have the valuable help of our staff, which is why this award today is dedicated to our people.”
