What we do

Working with us means more than joining one of the 20 leading pharmaceutical companies in the world. It means a career with a real purpose and real impact - improving the health of humans and animals worldwide to transform lives for generations.  This has been our goal since Albert Boehringer founded the company in 1885. Today, we work towards that aim, across the world, independently and through partnerships, in three major business areas.

Human Pharma

Our largest single field of endeavor is human health, where healthcare professionals and their patients alike rely on us to provide prescription medicines and healthcare solutions that make life better for millions. Our people share a passion for meeting unmet need, whether with innovative breakthrough therapies or proven and established products. And as a company we believe in partnering for success and in a sustainable, long-term approach, driving our competitiveness within the industry. Read more here.

Animal Health

We care about animal health, too, both for its own sake and as a core part of daily life for millions of farmers, pet owners, and others. That’s why we have over 10,000 people working worldwide every day to develop innovative and improved vaccines, parasiticides and pharmaceuticals that protect animals against disease and pain. As animal enthusiasts themselves, they come to work every day to help improve the lives of animals – be they at home, on the farm or even in the wild. Read more here.
