VETOQUINOL Corporate brochure 2012 (year 2011)

03 2011 ACTIVITY REPORT The new product launches are part of the strategy adopted five years ago to accelerate the renewal of our product ranges. “ This was the first European marketing authorization granted to Vétoquinol, giving it immediate and simultaneous access to the 27 member states of the European Union. Our goal is ambitious: we want to turn Cimalgex ® into a global product registered in all our strategic regions. Initial sales figures are already encouraging. Another big success last year was Forcyl ® , an innovative anti-infective that complies with the latest official requirements regarding the proper use of antibiotics as well as meeting farmers’ needs in terms of efficacy and ease of administration. Eventually, this new product should establish itself as the new benchmark in the treatment of cattle infections. These launches are part of the strategy adopted by Vétoquinol five years ago to accelerate the renewal of its product ranges. The first outcome of this strategy were brought to the market in 2008. DO YOU THINK THAT BRAZIL WILL SOON BEGIN TO HAVE A MATERIAL EFFECT ON VÉTOQUINOL’S RESULTS? The acquisition of Farmagricola SA in Brazil is a perfect example of our strategy in terms of external growth, geographical positioning, products and market potential. Like Vétoquinol, Farmagricola is a family business. Its main activity is the production of sterile and non-sterile liquids. It seems to me that this gives all of us at Vétoquinol reasons to be optimistic as we enter the world’s 2 nd largest animal health market. THE SENIOR MANAGEMENT TEAM HAS CHANGED SINCE 2010. WHAT DO YOU EXPECT FROM THE “NEW GUYS”? The “new guys” are Régis Vimal du Monteil, who joined us as Group Director – Finance and Legal Affairs in November 2010, and Jacques du Puy, who joined more recently as Group Deputy General Manager. Our discussions and strategic decision- making process will be enriched and enhanced by their experience and know-how. The Vétoquinol management team is ready to take up the challenges and grasp the opportunities that the future holds in store for us. AND WHAT DOES THE FUTURE HOLD IN STORE FOR VÉTOQUINOL? First of all, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our customers, suppliers and partners as well as our own staff, whose daily efforts are devoted to ensuring the quality and safety of our products. The world population has just exceeded the seven billion mark and our protein requirements are growing constantly. The same phenomenon applies to the pet owner population. Animal health is a multi-faceted sector in which the combination of innovation and growth will guarantee Vétoquinol sustainable growth in the future. I am convinced that the Vétoquinol Group will be able to mobilize all its strengths and know-how in order to continue to reinforce its growth capacity while enhancing its reputation for quality, proximity and innovation throughout the world.
