The pharmaceutical company Boehringer Ingelheim was founded in 1885 by Albert Boehringer in Ingelheim am Rhein, Germany. From its beginnings in 1885 when it employed just 28 people in Nieder-Ingelheim, the company has since become a global enterprise.
Today, Boehringer Ingelheim has more than 44,000 employees at 145 branches worldwide, and with research centres on four continents it can justifiably endorse its claim to be a research-driven company.
Boehringer Ingelheim is one of the world’s twenty leading pharmaceutical companies and can look back at a long family tradition.
