One of the best-known products is aspirin. Numerous other pills, capsules or infusions are also produced in Saxony-Anhalt. Behind them are companies such as Bayer Bitterfeld, Salutas, IDT Biologika, Wacker, Merz, Mibe or Oncotec. Saxony-Anhalt is thus one of the top addresses for the pharmaceutical and biotech industry, both nationally and globally.
As a region, "airea" covers the entire pharmaceutical value chain: from research and development to production, marketing, logistics and service.
WACKER recently began expanding its Weinberg Campus technology park site into an mRNA competence center. In the future, active ingredients based on messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA), such as mRNA vaccines against the coronavirus, will be produced here.
