We are Chiesi, an Italian family company founded by Giacomo Chiesi. In 1935, Giacomo started making new medicines in his pharmacy in Parma. Now, more than 85 years later, his grandchildren Alessandro, Andrea, Giacomo and Maria Paola are at the helm of a company that operates worldwide.
Our headquarters are still in Parma. We have sites in 31 countries and market our medicines in 100 countries. Chiesi employs 6,500 people worldwide and makes drugs for chronic lung diseases, transplantation, respiratory problems in premature babies and several rare diseases.
As a family-owned company, we do business with a long-term vision focused on helping patients. We develop innovative medicines to help people stay healthy or live as normally as possible when they are sick. Therefore, we not only help patients with lung diseases by developing medicines, but we also want to prevent people from getting lung diseases through smoking or vaping.
Chiesi is a health company - not only for people, but also for the environment. We strive to reduce climate change and environmental damage; healthy people on a healthy planet. Our goal is to make the impact of our medicines carbon-neutral by 2030 for our own processes and by 2035 for our suppliers' processes.
This is in line with the values of the Chiesi family, where caring for each other and responsibility.
