Orifarm (founded 1994) is a Danish pharmaceutical company[1][2] based in Odense.[3][4][5]

History

Orifarm was established in 1994 by Hans Bøgh-Sørensen and his wife Birgitte.[6][7]

In 1997, Orifarm expanded into Sweden, marking its first presence in a European market beyond Denmark. By 2014, Orifarm entered the Dutch market, establishing its sixth sales office in Europe.[8][9]

In 2020, the company bought a part of Takeda Pharmaceutical Company (Japan) for $670m[3][10][11] rights to a number of over-the-counter and prescription medicines for DKK 4.6 billion.[12][13]
