About us
Nice to meet you

History
Since 1949, Novo Nordisk Pharmatech has been creating pharmaceutical ingredients by Køge Bay. What started as FeF Chemicals, a small chemistry factory, would later become a valuable subsidiary of Novo Nordisk, enabling some of the greatest pharmaceutical discoveries and treatments. We have a long history of excellent quality specifically known for our expertise within Quats and later Recombinant Insulin. Today, we operate all over the world with offices in Singapore and Boston while still proudly being based by Køge Bay.
Our culture
Our culture is based on the Novo Nordisk Way which describes the values and behaviours that guide everything we do. Our ambition is to be a sustainable business respected for adding value to society. When faced with difficult choices, we think long-term, understanding that our future is dependent on being financially, environmentally, and socially responsible.
