Description
Since 1972, Takeda has had two sites in Italy for producing plasma-derived drugs in Rieti and Pisa, supporting patients with rare and complex diseases. These sites focus on the production of therapies derived from immunoglobulins, albumin, and coagulation factors. As a partner of the National Health System, we transform plasma into life-saving drugs under the “National Self-Sufficiency of Blood and its Products” program. We provide high-quality drugs worldwide, with a strong presence in Europe, America, and Asia.
