Teva Pharmaceutical


Tiva PharmaceuticalTeva Pharmaceutical

Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. is a global pharmaceutical company specializing in the development, production and marketing of generic and proprietary branded pharmaceuticals as well as active pharmaceutical ingredients. Teva is among the top 20 pharmaceutical companies and among the largest generic pharmaceutical companies in the world.

With more than a century of experience in the healthcare industry, Teva Pharmaceutical enjoys a firmly established international presence, operating through a carefully tailored network of worldwide subsidiaries. Headquartered in Israel, 90% of Teva's sales, which totaled US$5.3 billion in 2005, are in North America and Europe. Teva Pharmaceutical has approximately 25,000 employees worldwide and production facilities in Israel, North America, Europe and Latin America.

Generic pharmaceuticals - A comprehensive portfolio

Teva believes that its product diversity will continue to be of strategic significance, paralleling the needs of an emerging and dynamically evolving generic industry deeply affected by trends of consolidation among managed care providers, large pharmacy chains, wholesalers and other large-scale buyers. Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, the company's wholly-owned American subsidiary, is the jewel in the crown of Teva's international efforts in the generic pharmaceuticals arena and one of the most successful manufacturers and distributors of generic drugs in the U.S. Teva USA is an integral part of Teva North America which encompasses the USA and Canada. The company's impressive line offers the discerning American consumer an extensive portfolio of competitively priced products in diverse dosage forms. In 2004, Teva acquired Sicor which combined Teva's capabilities and knowledge in the solid dose generic drug franchise with Sicor's expertise in generic injectables.

Teva's forays into the European market include the acquisitions of the Dutch industry heavyweight Pharmachemie B.V., Teva Pharmaceuticals Germany GmbH (formerly GRY-Pharm), Teva UK Limited (formerly APS/Berk) in the UK, Teva Pharmaceutical Works Ltd. in Hungary (formerly Biogal) and others. Through these acquisitions, Teva has successfully established a broad network of subsidiaries across Europe, each attuned to the specific needs of its local customer base.

In 2006, Teva acquired IVAX which expanded product lines in generics, including a significant respiratory business, and a rich pipeline of generic and proprietary products in the areas of respiratory, CNS and oncology. The company will now offer the widest range of cost-effective pharmaceuticals, both generic and branded, to consumers, customers, and healthcare providers.
Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients

In addition to the production and sale of finished pharmaceutical products, Teva is a large manufacturer and provider of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients, the vital raw materials of the drug manufacturing industry. In addition to supplying a major share of Teva's own needs, the API division is an active competitor in world markets, investing both in the development of new products and manufacturing processes and in the upgrading of production facilities. It also provides an essential link in Teva's strategic marketing chain. The division often spearheads the company's entry into new drug markets, providing a cost effective source of materials with which to commence local manufacturing and establishing viable distribution channels.

TEVA UK Limited

The 70-year history of TEVA UK Limited has two consistent themes. A single-minded focus on generics. And a determination to grow: to grow our abilities, our products, our service.

As Approved Prescription Services (APS), the company's name and reputation stretch back to the 1930s and the development and production of saccharin tablets. The early fifties saw three employees and two other backers buy the company, which was acquired by Rhone Poulenc in 1989. Berk, a success in its own right selling a range of branded and unbranded generics, merged with APS in 1991, creating one of the largest generic companies in the UK . This was the company acquired in 1996 by TEVA Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd.

TEVA is among the top 25 pharmaceutical companies in the world, and undoubtedly the biggest in generic products. All the advantages of speed, choice, quality and cost that TEVA represents to our many customers across the UK led us to change our name in 2004 from APS Berk to, simply, TEVA UK Limited: a shorthand for the best service traditions of APS Berk and the powerful global resources of TEVA.

TEVA UK Limited package and market one of the widest ranges of generic products in the UK . We offer generic products in all major therapeutic areas in a variety of dosage forms, from tablets and capsules to ointments, creams, liquids and injectables. From our headquarters in Morley near Leeds, we deliver direct to customers through our wholesaler partners. Since 1998, our Hampden Park facility in Eastbourne has been a Centre of Excellence for Packaging. The investment in this Centre allowed us to be the first generic supplier to convert our range into patient packs.

The logic behind this expanding range of products and pack sizes allows us to meet the needs of all our customers: from community pharmacists and dispensing doctors to hospital pharmacies. It gives you a single authoritative and well resourced source for the vast majority of your generics needs.

Having the resources of TEVA behind us mean we are well placed to add to this range on day one after the expiry of major patents. TEVA Pharmaceuticals has a unique degree of back integration, manufacturing many of the Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients in our generic products. So whilst our range and packaging choices continue to grow, we're able to keep a firm control over the quality, availability and cost of every generic product we market.
