Perrigo Company plc PRGO

PRGO Company Overview

Perrigo Company plc is a global consumer self-care and healthcare company focused primarily on over-the-counter (OTC) health and wellness products and consumer self-care solutions. The company operates in the consumer healthcare industry, with product categories spanning pain relief, upper respiratory, digestive health, nutrition, lifestyle, skin care, and oral care. Perrigo generates revenue largely through the manufacture and distribution of store-brand OTC pharmaceuticals, infant formula, and branded consumer health products sold through retailers, pharmacies, e-commerce channels, and healthcare providers. Its business model has historically emphasized affordable alternatives to national-brand healthcare products while also expanding into higher-margin branded self-care offerings.

Founded in 1887 in Michigan as a packager of home remedies, Perrigo evolved into one of the largest manufacturers of private-label OTC medicines in North America and later expanded internationally through acquisitions and portfolio diversification. The company restructured over time to sharpen its focus on consumer self-care, including divestitures of certain prescription pharmaceutical operations and investments in branded consumer health assets. Perrigo is publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker PRGO and is incorporated in Ireland, with operational roots and significant management presence in the United States.
