Sant Cugat del Vallès (Barcelona)
Boehringer Ingelheim settled in Spain in 1952. For almost 70 years, the company has been growing to be among the top twenty pharmaceutical companies in this country. Its headquarters are located in Sant Cugat del Vallès (Barcelona), with more than 1,500 employees.
Boehringer Ingelheim Spain has two pharmaceutical production plants in Sant Cugat:
- One plant for the manufacture of injectables and orals (capsules and, in the future, antidiabetic tablets).
- Another plant is dedicated to the manufacture of aseptic cartridges and packaging of the RESPIMAT® range of products (inhalers).
In both facilities, Boehringer Ingelheim incorporates the latest technologies and new concepts of production, with integrated and process-oriented systems.
In addition to its new format for reducing the environmental impact of inhalers, RESPIMAT® is a great bid by Boehringer Ingelheim for innovation in Spain. Opened in 2019, and with an investment of EUR 120 million, the new RESPIMAT® production center in Spain is ready to produce 25 million RESPIMAT® cartridges annually and has created more than 200 new jobs. This center is a leading point in Europe as the final RESPIMAT® products are exported to more than 100 countries worldwide.
