-==== HISTORY ==== +
- +
-The [[Upjohn]] pharmaceutical company was started by William Erastus Upjohn in 1885 and was a research and industry pillar in Kalamazoo until its merger with the Swedish company [[Pharmacia]] in 1995. The hybrid company was bought by [[Pfizer]] in 2003.  +

- +
-In 1952 two Upjohn biochemists, Dury Peterson and Herb Murray announced that they were able to introduce this crucial oxygen atom by fermentation of the [[steroid progesterone]] with the mold Aspergillus nigercans. Over the next several years a group of chemists headed by John Hogg developed a process for preparing cortisone from the soybean steroid stigmasterol. The microbiological oxygenation is a key step in this process. [[Monsanto]] was part of the acquisition and divesting scheme at Pfiser and ties to the soy interest.  +

-2007 NEW YORK, Jan. 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- [[Pfizer Animal Health]], a division of Pfizer Inc (NYSE: PFE) today announced the completion of its acquisition of [[Embrex, Inc.]] (Nasdaq: EMBX), an international agricultural [[biotechnology]] company. +
- +
-Embrex, Inc., headquartered in Research Triangle Park, is an international agricultural bio-technological company founded in 1985. The facility will manufacture Embrex's Inovocox, a vaccine to prevent coccidiosis, a parasitic disease that afflicts birds' digestive systems. The vaccine is delivered to chicks before they are hatched via Embrex's Inovoject automated egg injection system. +
- +
-Embrex, Inc., the Inovo Company™, held a ribbon-cutting ceremony in March with Gov. Mike Easley to commemorate the opening of a "first of its kind" biological manufacturing facility in Laurinburg, N.C. Embrex Poultry Health will use the facility to produce its novel Inovocox™ in ovo coccidiosis [[vaccine]] upon approval from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.  +
- +

-===Pfizer Manufacturing China since 1989=== +
-On 27 February 2009 Pfizer opened a new manufacturing facility at its Dalian site in Liaoning Province, northeast China. At the same time the company celebrated the 20th year of operations at Dalian, which first opened in 1989. +
- +
-The facility supplies drugs to Europe, Asia and Africa and the categories include anti-infectives, antifungal agents, cardiovascular drugs, nervous system drugs and arthritis drugs. It remains to be seen whether Pfizer will supply drugs produced in China for the US market. +
- +
-Pfizer is still investing in the Chinese market, although the company seems to be cost cutting in a number of its plants across the world in the light of generic competition for its best-selling anti-cholesterol drug [[Lipitor]] in 2011, which produces $12bn a year or 25% of the company's annual revenue. +
- +
-More than 40 innovative Pfizer drugs have become available in the Chinese market and 13 additional new drugs are expected to be launched in the country by 2012. Pfizer has four manufacturing plants in China in Dalian, Suzhou and Wuxi. The company's strategy includes expansion in China, increasing its distribution operations from the current 110 cities to over 650. +
