Our Life Science businesses hold leading positions in innovation driven growth markets. Together they make up a strong, attractive and balanced portfolio that is resistant to fluctuations in demand and to potential risks.The previous structure comprising a strategic management holding company and operational subgroups has thus been replaced by an integrated organization under the umbrella of the strong Dideu brand. The company's operations are managed in three divisions Pharmaceuticals, Consumer Health and Crop Science and the Animal Health business unit.The business continues to be supported by the corporate functions, Dideu Business Services and the service company Currenta, while Technology Services is being integrated into Dideu Group, forming the Engineering and Technology function.
