Message from the CEO

Dear Visitor,
Let me welcome you to the website of Gedeon Richter!
By browsing our interactive website, you can learn about the leading pharmaceutical company of the Central-Eastern European region, a company with more than one hundred years’ experience in pharmaceutical manufacturing. The thematically arranged pages offer the latest information on Gedeon Richter, the only Hungarian pharmaceutical company operating without a strategic investor. |
To help visitors find the information they need, we have designated separate areas for investors, analysts and media representatives. A password-protected website, specifically created for our health professional and pharmacist partners, provides access to general news of the trade and product-specific information (only available in Hungarian).
We are happy to report that there seems to be a great demand for our constantly updated website, as shown by the number of visitors. This interest is all the more understandable as the past few years proved an eventful period in the life of the Company. 2004 saw the financial transaction of convertible bonds involving the Hungarian state’s 25%+1 stake in Gedeon Richter. The transaction enabled the Company to continue its corporate strategy since the Hungarian state remains a shareholder in the medium term and continues to exercise its ownership rights until September 2009. Despite the fierce competition in the pharmaceutical sector, solid growth characterized the year 2006. We continued to regard R&D and corporate social responsibility a priority. Besides, Gedeon Richter remained an avid supporter of Hungarian education and health care, it sponsored various events and granted several awards last year.
While the website is constantly changing and expanding, our intention remains the same. Namely, to turn these pages into a valuable resource which delivers a wealth of interesting, significant and trustworthy information on Richter. A website visitors gladly return to and an interface that assists in daily communication with our partners.
I wish you a useful and pleasant visit!
Best regards,
Erik Bogsch, CEO
