Specialty pharma focused on gastrointestinal and hepatic disorders
Dr. Falk Pharma is a family-owned pharmaceutical manufacturer with 60+ years in digestive and metabolic medicine, operating across 10 European and Australian affiliates with R&D and manufacturing hubs in Germany, France, Italy, and Switzerland. The tech stack (SAP S/4HANA, Veeva Vault, DocuSign) reflects mature pharma operations, while active hiring across clinical research, quality, and product roles—concentrated in Germany—signals expansion of pipeline development and regulatory infrastructure rather than geographic scaling.
