- Orion Oyj is a Finnish pharmaceutical company specializing in the development, manufacturing, and marketing of human and veterinary medicines, active pharmaceutical ingredients, and diagnostic kits. Its product portfolio includes prescription drugs targeting oncology, central nervous system, cardiovascular, respiratory, urological diseases, and hormone therapies, alongside consumer health and generic pharmaceuticals. Key products encompass the Easyhaler® inhalation portfolio, entacapone products marketed in Japan, and the prostate cancer drug Nubeqa®, for which Orion receives milestone payments. The company operates globally with a strong presence in Finland and international markets. Founded in 1917 and headquartered in Espoo, Finland, Orion continues to expand its R&D capabilities with a new Biologics R&D Centre in Cambridge, UK, and has entered into exclusive licensing agreements, notably with MSD for global rights related to specific pipeline assets. In 2025, Orion has upgraded its full-year financial outlook, anticipating net sales between EUR 1.82 billion and EUR 1.9 billion and operating profit between EUR 590 million and EUR 670 million, driven by higher-than-expected product sales, royalty income, and the receipt of a EUR 180 million milestone payment linked to Nubeqa® sales. Operational changes include strategic reorganizations in Turku and the termination of certain development programs, alongside expanded collaborations and licensing agreements aimed at reinforcing its innovative medicines pipeline. Orion focuses on both continuing growth in its branded pharmaceuticals division and slight growth in its animal health and generics businesses, reflecting a diversified approach to the pharmaceutical industry.
