About Boehringer Ingelheim

We transform lives through science - in both human and animal health. As one of the industry's top R&D investors, we develop innovative therapies where they're needed most. Family-owned and independent, we take the long view—building sustainability into everything we do.

Innovation for Australia and New Zealand

Our innovations are changing lives for over one million Australians and New Zealanders living with heart disease, chronic kidney disease, metabolic diseases, lung diseases and cancer. Our research pipeline is targeting breakthroughs in these therapeutic areas as well as in mental health and eye health.

We invest billions in R&D worldwide each year. That includes millions in local clinical trials right here in Australia and New Zealand. Why? To create breakthrough therapies that tackle healthcare's biggest challenges.

Our team of 450 people across ANZ works in cardiovascular, metabolic, renal, respiratory and oncology care. We partner with patient groups, healthcare professionals and communities to deliver medicines and solutions that make a real difference.

Animal Health Leadership

When animals are healthy, humans are healthier too. That's why we're one of the world's leading providers of vaccines, parasite-control products and medicines for animals.

Veterinarians, pet owners and farmers trust our innovations to protect animal health and welfare. We also supply both Australia and New Zealand's national foot-and-mouth disease vaccine banks—strengthening biosecurity and protecting our farmers and agricultural sectors.

By bringing together our Animal Health and Human Health expertise, we're enhancing wellbeing for both.
