The supply chain comprises the entire process from purchasing of raw materials to manufacturing, packaging and delivery to customers, wholesalers, subsidiaries or other pharmaceutical companies. Uncompromised quality of products and operations, as well as cost-effficiency and reliable deliveries are extremely important principles for Orion’s supply chain activities.

All production facilities in Finland

All Orion’s production plants are in Finland. Pharmaceuticals are manufactured in Espoo, Turku and Kuopio. The Hanko and Oulu plants engage in the manufacture of active pharmaceutical ingredients. Diagnostic products are made in Espoo and Turku.
Orion’s pharmaceuticals manufacturing programme alone comprises about 300 products. Approximately 60 million product packages  and pproximately 2.3 billion tablets are produced a year. 

Orion’s Supply Chain organisation manufactures, packages and stores products and delivers them to the customers cost-efficiently and reliably at the right time. About 950 people work in the supply chain and related quality assurance. The manufacture of diagnostic products has been partially integrated into the supply chain of pharmaceuticals.

Not quite all Orion products are manufactured by Orion

It is not rational for Orion – or any pharmaceutical company - to do everything itself. Therefore, the company uses reliable manufacturing subcontractors, when necessary.
Orion also does contract manufacturing of pharmaceutical and diagnostic products for other companies. Rational allocation of the capacity improves the cost-efficiency of the supply chain operations, making it a key competitive advantage. Moreover, contract manufacturing helps Orion to expand its co-operation with the other players in the field.
