About Organon Laboratories

Welcome to Organon, where health matters.

Employing over 13,000 people world-wide in over 50 countries, Organon makes products that contribute to the health of people and their quality of life. It is this that ultimately determines our existence and success. We are committed to innovation and have developed some of the most innovative prescription medicines for gynaecology, mental health, anaesthesia, and for cardiovascular disease.

Organon’s commitment to innovation is apparent here in the United Kingdom. Since 1996, a multi million pound investment has transformed Organon’s drug discovery research complex at Newhouse, Scotland, into one of the largest installations of its kind in the country. Together with our other main research facility in Oss, The Netherlands, we are exploring the boundaries of pharmaceutical research, in the hope that generations to come will enjoy a more secure and healthier future.

We employ nearly 600 people in the UK, more than half of whom work in research and over 19% of our global sales turnover is re-invested in research and development. Research and development cannot be fully effective if it happens in isolation, however. It is important that we understand the needs of our customers. To this end, in the UK we are engaged with healthcare professionals, providers and policymakers, as well as patient associations.

Organon provides support for medical and health education in the UK. We support numerous medical professional bodies and charities, including the following patient or consumer organisations.

Sexual Health	Fertility	Menopause
Fpa (Family Planning Association)	IN UK	Women’s Health Concern
Brook Advisory Centres		The Daisy Network
Marie Stopes International UK
Bpas

Organon is also a sponsor of Ask About Medicines

Organon’s business headquarters in the UK are based in Cambridge, from where experts in sales, marketing, administration and a variety of professional disciplines handle the company’s commercial operations throughout the country.

Our drive for excellence in everything we do, coupled with the dynamic culture of the company makes Organon an exciting and rewarding place to work. People are our greatest resource and we invest a great deal in developing people to their maximum potential.

Above all, as you discover more about our Organon in these pages, you will find an organisation that places quality above all else — quality of people, quality of product, quality of life.
