Our Group

"As one of the oldest pharmaceutical companies in the world, we take pride in our heritage with a keen eye for the future defined by an unwavering commitment for patient cause."

Elcin Barker Ergun
MENARINI GROUP CEO

High quality therapeutics and diagnostics solutions for patients, ethics as our underlying principle, dedication to innovation and advancement, strong people centricity and environmental sustainability.

These five pillars form the foundation of the Menarini Group, an Italian pharmaceutical company with 140 years of history. Founded in 1886 in Naples under the name of Farmacia Internazionale, in 1915 Menarini moved to Florence where the Group’s headquarters are located still today.

The Menarini Group is present in 140 countries around the world. Its companies span from Europe to Asia, to Africa and the Middle East, to Central America and to the United States where with the acquisition of Stemline Therapeutics, a biopharmaceutical company that was listed on the NASDAQ stock exchange, the company also marked its entry into the US oncology market.

Thanks to the valuable contribution of over 17,000 employees, the Menarini's drugs are produced annually in 18 production facilities and are distributed across 6 continents for the treatment of main pathologies in cardiology, oncology, gastroenterology, pneumology, diabetology, inflammation and analgesia.

In its 9 Research & Development centers, Menarini’s main focus is dedicated to therapeutic areas with unresolved pathologies, such as oncology and anti-infectives (AMR), where increasing the options of treatment is fundamental to helping those in need. The Group's pipeline concentrates on innovative drugs and technologies including both small molecule and biotech drugs for hematologic and solid tumor therapies for greater personalized solutions.

From research to manufacturing, from distribution to scientific information, Menarini's goal is to achieve excellence.
