It employs more than 2,000 people in more than 85 countries and achieved sales of 600 million euros in 2010. The founder and CEO of the company is Luigi Rovati. Competitors are Menarini and Recordati .
In August 2014, the Swedish pharmaceutical company MEDA bought the entire company for 2.3 billion euros.
history
The company was founded in 1961 by Professor Luigi Rovati, a professor of pharmacology at the University of Pavia , as an independent research laboratory Rotta.
In the following decades, the company grew into a global corporation: In 1978, the German company Opfermann Arzneimittel (based in Wiehl-Bomig ) was taken over, and in 1979 the Portuguese company Delta. In 1986 Rotta acquired the production and sales of the company Rorer Italia and renamed it as the manufacturing sister company of the Rotta laboratory branch to Rottapharm Srl , in 1989 the Spanish laboratory Gamir was added, renaming Rottapharm Srl to Rottapharm SA (public limited company). The French branch Rottapharm Sarl was established in January 1991 . In 1993 another Spanish company, Fides, was bought from the Pharmacia Group and also integrated into Rottapharm SA. Two years later a branch was set up in Beijing (China). Rottapharm-Silesia was founded in Chile in 1996 , initially as a joint venture with the Chilean company Silesia (at the beginning of 2000, Rottapharm acquired the majority of the voting rights in the JV). In 1998 Rottapharm Ltd was founded in Dublin (Ireland), as well as a sales and marketing company in Portugal (Rotta Farmaceutica), Thailand and Guatemala . In the following year, the Italian company Laboratori Guieu was acquired. The Indian company Elder founded an exclusive distributor of Rottapharm products in India under the name EW&F (Earth, Wind & Fire) . In the same year a further sales office was set up in Malaysia . At the beginning of 2000, a new sales agency, Fides-EcoPharma, was set up in Spain, followed by entry into the USA market with Rotta Pharmaceuticals Inc. in November , and sales offices in Panama , Honduras , El Salvador and Costa Rica . In 2002 further sales offices followed in Russia , the Czech Republic , Bulgaria and Romania .
In 2004, the Rotta research and development laboratory and Rottapharm merged and became the joint stock company Rottapharm Spa . The next development step followed in 2005 with the takeover of the company Biochimici PSN, which made it market leader in the Italian market for personal care products.
Another big step was the takeover of the German plant pharmaceutical company Madaus in June 2007 , the largest takeover of an Italian pharmaceutical company in Europe to date.
In June 2014, the owner family announced that they would be listing the company on the stock exchange. Initially, 25 percent of the shares should be sold. But then the IPO was surprisingly canceled. Instead, the Swedish pharmaceutical company Meda bought the entire company for 2.3 billion euros.

Products
Rottapharm Madaus specializes in the distribution of phytopharmaceuticals . Among the most famous products, the flu and cold remedies counts Echinacin which supplements Armolipid Plus and Sagella care for and against infections of the genital area.
A non-interventional study by the manufacturer confirms that Echinacin Liquidum has a positive effect on the body: The course of the disease is shortened and, compared to conventional cold and flu remedies , it is better tolerated. A study on the dietary supplement Armolipid Plus , which is used in cases of increased cholesterol and triglyceride levels , came to the following result: In combination with a balanced diet, the LDL cholesterol could be reduced and the HDL cholesterol increased . In a PTA test campaign for Sagella intimate care products, 98 percent of the testers rated criteria such as effectiveness, feeling of freshness, care and handling as “very good” or “good”.
