Shares Sanofi

Sanofi SA is a multinational pharma company headquartered in Paris, France. Since 2013, this is the world's fifth company by prescribed drug sales. Founded back in 1973, the company was re-structured and re-branded as Sanofi-Aventis in 2004, after the merger of Aventis and Sanofi-Synthélabo, each of both being a result of previous mergers. In May 2011, the company was renamed to Sanofi. The company works in the following fields: cardiovascular system, central nervous system, diabetes, internal medicine, oncology, thrombosis, and vaccines.

Sanofi concluded a few successful acquisitions, the largest being Zentiva, Shantha Biotechnics, Chattem, Medley Pharmaceuticals Ltd., Genzyme, Globalpharma, and Bioverativ.
