Apotex Inc. headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, was founded in 1974, and is the largest Canadian-owned pharmaceutical company. The company has grown to employ over 5,000 people in research, development, manufacturing and distribution facilities world-wide.

The company’s pharmaceuticals can be found in virtually every pharmacy and healthcare facility in Canada and are exported to over 115 countries around the globe. Apotex produces more than 210 generic pharmaceuticals in approximately 2000 dosages and formats which, in Canada, are used to fill over 42 million prescriptions a year - the largest amount of any pharmaceutical company in Canada.

Export markets represent an ever-growing portion of the total sales. Although the company’s own business is developing and manufacturing generic pharmaceuticals, the success of Apotex has enabled it to diversify into a number of other health-related areas. The Apotex Pharmaceutical Group of Companies also researches, develops, manufactures and distributes fine chemicals, non-prescription and private label medicines, and disposable plastics for medical use.

Research at Apotex includes the development of both generic and innovative pharmaceuticals.
