Boehringer Ingelheim: saving lives in the heart of Vienna

Founded in Germany in 1885, Boehringer Ingelheim has had a foothold in Vienna for 75 years, where it began operations in the backyard of a local pharmacy. Today, the company’s Vienna Campus employs over 3400 people from all around the world. The city has played a vital role in its expansion—the Regional Center Vienna is Boehringer Ingelheim’s global hub for cancer research and coordinates business for more than 30 countries. 

“With a rich culture and deep commitment to sustainability, Vienna makes it easy to attract world-class talent,” says Supervisory Board Chairman Philipp von Lattorff. “I personally invite candidates who aren’t sure if they are ready to relocate to visit with their families. In 99% of the cases, they say yes to Vienna.” 

The Boehringer Ingelheim new production facility, developed in collaboration with the Vienna Business Agency, is an essential addition to the company’s biopharmaceutical manufacturing network and one of the most advanced of its kind.
