Our Heritage

Global Foundation 

Recordati traces its origins to 1926, when Giovanni Recordati founded the company in Correggio, Italy. Beginning as a small laboratory focused on developing improved treatments for common ailments, the company has grown over nearly a century into a major international pharmaceutical group.

 

In 1953, the company relocated its headquarters to Milan, positioning itself at the heart of Italy’s economic centre, where it remains today. From these humble beginnings, Recordati has evolved into a global pharmaceutical company, listed on the Italian Stock Exchange since 1984. The company now employs over 4,500 people worldwide and operates across approximately 150 countries.

Establishment in the United Kingdom

Recordati Pharmaceuticals Limited was officially incorporated in the United Kingdom on 11 April 2005. Our registered office is located in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire, and we operate as a private limited company specialising in the sales and marketing of pharmaceutical products.

This establishment was part of Recordati’s broader internationalisation strategy during the early 2000s, which saw the group expand its direct presence across all key European markets including Germany, France, Spain, Greece, and Ireland.

Innovation and Development

Recordati has a strong heritage in pharmaceutical innovation, built on a commitment to developing therapeutic solutions that meet patient needs.

 

Our approach has focused on identifying and advancing treatment options through careful development and bringing them to market. This has been central to the company’s growth over the years, enabling us to expand our presence and reach more patients globally.

 

Through our development capabilities and expertise, we continue to contribute to improved patient wellbeing. Our ongoing commitment to pharmaceutical innovation remains a cornerstone of our business and our dedication to making a meaningful difference in healthcare.

Recordati’s production sites are equipped with state-of-the-art installations and their research laboratories are fitted with the latest equipment.

 

All plants operate in full compliance with environmental protection regulations and in compliance with the current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP).. See all here: https://recordati.com/industrial-operations/

Specialist packing and distribution centre

We have a packaging and distribution site in Paris exclusively dedicated to products for the treatment of rare diseases. It occupies a surface area of 1,600 sq. m. and is entirely dedicated to the secondary packaging, storage and shipping of rare disease products. The site delivers, upon short notice, more than 27,000 orders annually to more than 60 countries worldwide thanks to its highly qualified staff and a modern Good Distribution Practices (GDP) certified logistics platform.

Tailored, patient-centric development and clinical trial methodology

Rare diseases and orphan drugs undergo the same review processes as other pharmaceuticals and must meet the same high standards of quality, safety and efficacy. The small numbers of patients affected by a rare disease and the variability of any inherited trait (the so-called high phenotypic heterogeneity) means that randomised clinical trials are not always feasible for a rare diseases or orphan drug. Also, the use of placebo-controlled trials may be unethical and for comparisons standardised treatments are often not available.

Specialist regulatory affairs expertise in:
  • Orphan drug designations
  • Marketing authorisation applications
  • Post-approval safety surveillance
  • Named patient use
Highly qualified, highly focused marketing and sales teams

The people in our marketing and sales teams have a personal commitment to improving the lives of people who have a rare disease. We recognise that only through working collaboratively with all stakeholders are we able to tackle the challenges in the orphan drug and rare disease field. These challenges include disease awareness, education and training, and the development of consensus around diagnostic and clinical care guidelines.

 

Our Rare Diseases Orphan Drug Specialists are highly trained experts working closely with all stakeholders to understand their needs and develop solutions for improving patient management, from diagnosis to treatment, and to help ensure patient access to our products.

Market access and focused patient access to treatment

We focus on:

  • Providing early patient access to our treatments through local regulations
  • Navigating the various requirements of Health Technology Appraisal (HTA) bodies across countries in the orphan drug space
  • Generating convincing evidence for HTA bodies and payers in insufficiently researched disease areas
  • Working closely with the rare disease community to help generate access to our treatments worldwide
