Medikamente, die in Österreich entstehen, erreichen Patientinnen und Patienten in mehr als 100 Ländern. Mitten in diesem Netz steht Takeda Pharma Ges.m.b.H., die österreichische Vertriebs- und Marketingorganisation des japanischen Pharmakonzerns Takeda. Ihren Sitz hat sie im Euro Plaza im Süden Wiens. Von dort aus betreut sie seit Mitte der 1990er-Jahre das Geschäft für den österreichischen Markt.
Takeda ist ein forschendes Biopharmaunternehmen mit Hauptsitz in Tokio. Weltweit arbeiten dort rund 47.000 Menschen in etwa 80 Ländern. Die Forschung konzentriert sich auf einige wenige Felder mit hohem medizinischem Bedarf: Krebserkrankungen, seltene genetische Erkrankungen, Erkrankungen des Nervensystems und des Magen-Darm-Trakts. Dazu kommen Impfstoffe und Therapien aus Blutplasma.
Österreich ist dabei kein Nebenschauplatz. Es ist der größte Standort im weltweiten Takeda-Netzwerk. Rund 4.500 Beschäftigte arbeiten hier entlang der gesamten Wertschöpfungskette, von der Forschung über die Plasmagewinnung bis zur Produktion. Entwickelt und gefertigt wird in Wien und Linz, ein Labor für die Qualitätskontrolle steht in Orth an der Donau. In den Produktionshallen führen Pharmatechnologinnen und Anlagenführer die Anlagen, in den Labors prüfen Analytikerinnen jede Charge, bevor sie das Haus verlässt.
