Vifor Pharma AG is a Switzerland‐headquartered pharmaceutical company specializing in treatments for iron deficiency, nephrology and related therapeutic areas. Established in 2017 following the separation of Galenica into two standalone entities, Vifor Pharma traces its roots to the 19th century and has since grown into a leader in iron therapy and kidney disease management. The company develops, manufactures and commercializes innovative prescription medicines and medical devices, working closely with healthcare professionals to address unmet needs in patient care.
The company’s product portfolio includes intravenous iron therapies such as Venofer (iron sucrose) and Ferinject (ferric carboxymaltose), as well as phosphate binders like Velphoro (sucroferric oxyhydroxide). In 2016, Vifor Pharma expanded its nephrology pipeline through the acquisition of Relypsa, gaining Veltassa (patiromer) for the treatment of hyperkalemia. Ongoing research and development efforts focus on next‐generation treatments in iron deficiency, chronic kidney disease and supportive care for patients with complex comorbidities.
Vifor Pharma operates in over 100 countries, leveraging a global network of subsidiaries, partnerships and distribution channels. The company maintains manufacturing facilities in Europe and North America and collaborates with strategic partners including leading dialysis providers. Its commercial teams serve key markets across Europe, the United States, Asia Pacific and Latin America, adapting product access programs to local healthcare systems and reimbursement environments.
Governed by an experienced international leadership team based in St. Gallen, Switzerland, Vifor Pharma’s management combines deep expertise in pharmaceutical development, marketing and regulatory affairs. The company is listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange under the ticker VIFN and trades on the OTC market in the United States under the symbol GNHAF, reflecting its commitment to transparency and engagement with the global investment community.
