Sanofi

Sanofi S.A. is a worldwide healthcare and pharmaceutical corporation headquartered in the French capital city of Paris. The company began in 1973 when it was founded; in 1999, it joined with Synthélabo to form what is now known as Sanofi-Synthélabo. In 2004, Sanofi-Synthélabo combined with Aventis, and the resulting company was renamed Sanofi-Aventis. Both of these companies resulted from multiple other mergers in the past. In May 2011, the company went back to using the name Sanofi. The stock market index that tracks the Euro Stoxx 50 includes the corporation as a component.

Sanofi is a pharmaceutical company conducting research and development, manufacturing and selling goods. Although the company focuses mostly on the market for prescription drugs, it also creates treatments that may be purchased without a doctor's prescription. The company is involved in seven of the most important therapeutic areas, including the cardiovascular, central nervous system, diabetes, internal medicine, oncology, thrombosis, and vaccines (the company is the largest producer of vaccines globally through its subsidiary Sanofi Pasteur).
