DECN, hearing things about possible Perrigo deal, have no idea if anything will come of it but they would be a perfect company to partner, license with for DECN. That would be a rocket launch for DECN, one can hope. In any case there are several pieces of news and new products for 2017 will be an exciting year.

1921 – Perrigo opens its first plant in Allegan, Michigan. Its second plant opens in 1936.

1984 – Greenville, South Carolina joined the Perrigo family back in 1984 and is home to a large portion of our vitamin products. It was a key component of Perrigo taking over an already large vitamin business when a competitor went out of business in 2007.

1997 – As Perrigo sought to expand its Consumer Healthcare presence globally, acquisition of established businesses was a natural solution. In 1997, Perrigo made its first venture to Mexico, when it acquired Quimica y Farmacia, also known as Quifa. Since that time, through expansion and acquisitions, Perrigo Mexico has grown to become the largest retail brand pharmaceutical business in Mexico, producing over the counter pharmaceuticals, prescription medications, nutrition products, and vitamin supplements.

2001 – In 2001 Perrigo acquired Wrafton Laboratories Limited and later became the U.K.'s largest manufacturer of over the counter pharmaceutical and nutritional products for the store brand market. Perrigo UK also has dedicated product development and regulatory teams that focus on store brand and contract product development. Two acquisitions later, the combination of the three companies into Perrigo UK made it the clear leader.

2003 – Perrigo India began operations in 2003, initially focusing on supporting global sourcing of active pharmaceutical ingredients. Since then, their mission has grown and now they are active on four fronts, Formulation Research and Development, Analytical Research and Development, Quality Assurance External Auditing, and Sourcing.

Also founded in 2003 was our Perrigo China location, or PCI, where raw material sourcing and quality support is housed. In addition, the PCI office also leads the sales efforts of selected products into the Chinese Market.

2004 – Perrigo New Jersey was established in 2004 with the initial goal of developing prescription generic pharmaceuticals. Now, their staff supports the development of solid orals and has overseen the development of niche products such as transdermal patches and pressurized metered dose inhalers.

2005 – Perrigo New York became a part of Perrigo in 2005 and is a state of the art cream and ointment tube plant that produces more than 50 million tubes annually. This operation supports a key portion of our generic Rx and OTC business.

Our most diverse and complex operations can be found in Israel, where Perrigo acquired Agis Industries in 2005. Along with developing, manufacturing and marketing Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients, our Israel-based business sells pharmaceuticals and medical diagnostic equipment in the Israeli market.

2008 – Our consumer healthcare production was enhanced with the addition of Perrigo Michigan-Holland in 2008, through the acquisition of JB Labs, adding contract over the counter and nutritional products to the mix.

Perrigo again expanded its product offerings with the acquisition of Unico Holdings, a leading manufacturer of store brand pediatric electrolytes, enemas and feminine hygiene products.

We also extended our UK presence with the acquisition of Galpharm Healthcare, Ltd., a UK leader in over-the-counter store brand pharmaceutical products sold by super markets, drug stores and pharmacies.

The acquisition of Laboratorios Diba, S.A., a privately-held manufacturer of over-the-counter and prescription pharmaceuticals, including antibiotics, hormonals and ophthalmics, allowed us to strengthen our presence in that market and add several new formulas to our product portfolio.

2009 – The company decides to exit the consumer products business in order to optimize Perrigo's product portfolio. The Israel Consumer Products business is sold to Emilia Group, a subsidiary of O. Feller Holding Ltd.

2010 – Perrigo's global expansion continued with the acquisition of Orion Laboratories Pty., Ltd., a leading supplier of over-the-counter store brand pharmaceutical products in Australia and New Zealand.

Perrigo moved into the infant formula business by acquiring PBM Holdings, Inc., the leading manufacturer of store-brand infant formula and baby foods sold by leading retailers in the mass, club, grocery and drug channels in the U.S., Canada, Mexico and China.

2011 – In February 2011, Perrigo entered the diabetes care category through an exclusive agreement with AgaMatrix, Inc., to sell and distribute store brand blood glucose monitors and test strips in the U.S.

Later in the year, expansion of our specialty portfolio of generic pharmaceutical products was bolstered by the acquisition of Paddock Laboratories, Inc. The acquisition added incremental scale, as well as development and manufacturing capabilities across a spectrum of niche dosage forms.

2012 – In September 2012, Perrigo announced its intention to enter the animal wellness category by acquiring the assets of Sergeant's Pet Care Products, Inc., a privately-held manufacturer of over-the-counter companion animal healthcare products. Sergeant's Pet Care Products offers numerous flea and tick, health and well-being and consumable products to pet owners at affordable prices.

Perrigo solidified its leadership position in topical foam-based generic Rx pharmaceuticals with the acquisition of Cobrek Pharmaceuticals, Inc., in December.

2013 - In February, Perrigo acquired Leeds, U.K.-based Rosemont Pharmaceuticals Ltd., a specialty and generic prescription pharmaceutical company focused on the manufacturing and marketing of oral liquid formulations. Rosemont's leading position in this market, combined with its robust pipeline portfolio and access to under-penetrated international markets, represented an exciting opportunity for future growth and European expansion.

In April, Perrigo acquired Velcera, Inc., a Yardley, Pennsylvania based pet health products company. Velcera's mix of products represents a natural extension to the Sergeant's. Additionally, the PetArmor® franchise furthers our strategy to make quality, affordable pet care products available to consumers everywhere.

Perrigo expanded its Rx extended topical portfolio to include ophthalmic sterile ointment and solution products with the addition of nine ANDAs from Fera Pharmaceuticals, LLC and its affiliates in June. The ophthalmic category has been one of high strategic interest to Perrigo as pursue opportunities to continue to grow within the niche Rx extended topical space.

Also in 2013, Perrigo acquired Elan through the formation of a new Irish holding company, Perrigo Company plc. The acquisition put Perrigo in an even better position to execute on our strategy for adjacent category and international expansion.

Add it all up and you get more than 9,000 employees working together to create the next chapter in our 125-year history of innovation and dedication to manufacturing Quality affordable healthcare products® for consumers across the world.
