Sanofi, or Sanofi – (sanofi) Aventis, the French company is one of the biggest and the best. Beating most other pharmaceutical companies in the world, Sanofi stands third in the list of medicine makers of the world, manufacturing drugs and vaccines for some of the deadliest diseases. The current companies actually a merger of the original along with two other pharmaceutical companies that were established independently, Synthelabo and Aventis. Together, they vowed to conquer Cancer, Central Nervous system diseases, cardiovascular disorders, Diabetes and Thrombosis for which they had commenced work extensively.
The landmark merger between Sanofi and Aventis took place in the year 2004 with the government of France playing a major part in finalising the deal. (sanofi)
Mostly, it is the biotechnological companies that Sanofi seems to focus on when it comes to acquisitions. And knowing that the future belongs to the biotechnology companies with the development of all the genome technologies, it is undoubtedly a clever move.
Sanofi also takes up social responsibility seriously. It does charity under the name of Aventis Foundation, a German charity trust. The trust majorly concentrates on developing arts like theatre, music and literature while some of it also funds healthcare research that is done all over the world.
Sanofi was not around since 1880s like many other popular pharmaceutical companies of today. But since the time it was established, the brand grew phenomenally, expanding itself every year. And at the rate that it is acquiring companies aggressively in the current times, it only seems to be getting bigger each day.
