About the Company

Ferring Pharmaceuticals

Develops peptide hormone-based medicines and therapies

Ferring Pharmaceuticals develops medicines that use the body's own peptide hormones, focusing on specialties such as reproductive health, gastroenterology, and urology. Its products range from hormone-based therapies to newer gene-based treatments, such as Adstiladrin for bladder cancer. The company achieves its solutions through research-driven development and manufacturing, including synthetic production of peptide hormones (historically oxytocin and vasopressin) and ongoing expansion of production and clinical programs. Ferring differentiates itself by remaining privately held to pursue a long-term research vision, growing through organic expansion and strategic acquisitions while maintaining a global footprint (over 100 countries, 7,000+ employees). Its goal is to advance therapies that leverage the body's biology to treat diseases more effectively, supported by a sustained investment in R&D and manufacturing, with a future focus on bioengineered and gene-based approaches.
