Vetoquinol Corporate brochure 2013

I n 2013, Vétoquinol celebrates its 80 th anniversary and looks forward to a future full of promise. Our market, our teams, our culture, our expertise and our products are all developing in the right direction, and we have every intention of continuing along this road to success. For 80 years, our invaluable assets have helped us to drive our growth and contribute towards making the world a healthier place for animals and humans alike. We want to build up a company geared towards ongoing progress in its target areas and markets, freedom of decision-making based on its independence and long-term investment and growth. Our goal is to achieve excellence through continuous change and improvement. Our future is built on solid foundations, namely the Group's worldwide geographical footprint. It only took us a few decades to become, first a European company, then a global company operating directly in 23 countries and on four continents spanning Europe, North and South America and the Asia Pacific region. We are very proud of our 1,800 employees whose daily efforts are gratefully appreci- ated by customers, vets, farmers and pet owners all over the world. The Group continues to grow, driven by a proactive strategy based on strong values to which the group is deeply committed: boldness, performance, team spirit and commitment are values enshrined in the genes of a company that is at once family-based, independent and global. Our human size is a determining factor for our future progress. Our response to a fiercely competitive market is based on quick decisions, a focus on the essentials, exploration of new markets and constant development of our scientific culture. All staff share one common goal: to ensure that the passion for animal health that is the hallmark of Vétoquinol is conveyed through its products and services to the customers whose lives we are committed to improving.
