Company Overview

Sanofi is a global biopharmaceutical company focused on the research, development, manufacturing, and commercialization of medicines and vaccines across multiple therapeutic areas. The company operates primarily within the pharmaceuticals and vaccines industries, with a strategic emphasis on innovative specialty care, immunology, oncology, rare diseases, and preventive healthcare.

A pivotal milestone was the 2004 merger with Aventis, which significantly expanded its R&D capabilities and international footprint. In recent years, Sanofi has repositioned itself toward science-driven innovation, streamlining legacy businesses while increasing investment in biologics and immunology to strengthen long-term growth.
