More than 150 years of Rentschler

Entrepreneurial courage gives wings to innovation, regions, people, and entire generations: In 1872, strategically located on the Swabian Railway, the “7-Swabians Pharmacy” was established in Laupheim. This is our foundation from which we produce biopharmaceuticals for serious or rare diseases as a leading global contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO). With subsidiaries in Milford (Boston, MA, USA) and Stevenage (UK), we have considerably expanded our presence and expertise, including in the field of cell and gene therapy.
