Company Background

Celltrion is a South Korean pharmaceutical venture that develops "biosimilars" -- generic equivalents of biopharmaceuticals -- using microorganisms and animal cells. Remsima, a biosimilar treatment for rheumatoid arthritis, has been approved for sale in South Korea, Japan, Europe, Australia and Latin America.

Founded in 2002, Celltrion started out as a contract manufacturer for Western drug companies. It moved into biosimilars in 2008. The company's plants in South Korea can produce 200,000 liters of protein drugs per year.

In addition to well-known treatments Remsima and breast cancer drug Herzuma, the company develops and markets one to two new products a year. Celltrion plans to focus on developed markets, including Japan, the U.S. and Europe, where demand for biosimilars is growing rapidly.

Because Celltrion is a research and development-oriented company, its operating profit margin has remained high. It is one of the top companies on the Kosdaq market for startups in terms of market capitalization.

Business Summary

Celltrion, Inc. engages in the development, manufacture and distribution of pharmaceuticals. It operates through the Biopharmaceuticals, Chemical Drugs and Others businesses. Its products include remsima and biosimilars. The company was founded on February 27, 1991 and is headquartered in Incheon, South Korea.
