 Boehringer Ingelheim - “Taking prevention seriously”

For 125 years, Boehringer Ingelheim played an important role in the development of innovative drugs. As a Family business, Boehringer Ingelheim is committed to a sustainable growth of the company with large investments in research for new solutions to human as well as animal health problems.

Preventing diseases is as important in human medicine as in animal health. Therefore, Boehringer Ingelheim Animal Health continuously invests into disease prevention and consequently in the development of biologicals, i.e. innovative vaccines. Our portfolio of well-established Boehringer Ingelheim Animal Health vaccines such as Ingelvac CircoFLEX® or Enterisol® Ileitis helps to improve the calculability of the food production chain.

Pioneering research enables our teams to make value for farmers through innovations that put us into a leading position in the market. We aim to provide veterinary research and medicine inside and outside the company with important stimuli. Our success speaks for itself: the Animal Health Division has been showing substantial growth rates for several years in a row. Together with you we would like to follow this successful route further in the future.

In the Swine segment, we are the no 1 selling vaccine supplier, which demonstrates our dedication to disease prevention. Prevention will be a continuously growing issue worldwide as consumers demand a low use of antibiotics and farmers want pigs with a constant high health. Boehringer Ingelheim is taking prevention seriously!
