Laying new foundations for the future

In 2023 VetViva Richter GmbH, which is based in Austria, was founded as a 100 % subsidiary of Richter Pharma AG. With our many years of experience in the industry and our previous successes, VetViva will help us lay new foundations for the future.

As an internationally operating company that holds more than 700 medicinal product authorisations, we export our products to more than 50 countries worldwide and foster a close cooperation with veterinarians and long-standing distributors.

Dear customers,

everything we do here is focussed on you, the customer. That starts right from the product development stage, where we carefully align our medicines with product portfolios for selected indications. We really want to be the first choice for vets. Pinpoint accuracy and reliability are our watchwords when it comes to supplying our partners with our products, and they form the basis for all our partnerships. We want our customers to be inspired by - and gain the maximum benefit from - the technical expertise behind our product portfolios. With our expertise and committed staff, we can make an important contribution to increasing animal welfare, all the way from product development to product delivery.

Our Vision:
First choice in animal health for selected indications

Our aspiration: Towards a sustainable future

Our environment and a worthwhile future for the next generations are a priority for us. That is why we do everything we can to make an important contribution to society together with our employees, suppliers and customers by also setting ourselves the global aim of a sustainable and environmentally friendly development. In this regard it is particularly important to us to continue to further reduce the carbon footprint of our products and services. We achieve this by constantly questioning our consumption and production processes and optimising them in a sustainable manner.

By implementing these measures, we can ensure together that we can reduce CO2 emissions and become more environmentally friendly wherever this is possible and expedient. After all, we are convinced that the health of humans, animals and the environment are inextricably linked to one another and that we cannot simply view these individual areas in isolation. This is the only way we can do the things that are both right and important, now and in the future.

INTERCONNECTED THROUGHOUT EUROPE

VetViva part of Access Vetmed

Access VetMed is the voice of the European industry for generics and veterinary medicinal products with added value that provides general information to a wider audience on the many advantages of generic veterinary medicinal products for animal health and society.

“As an EU industry organisation, we want to raise awareness about the generic and added-value veterinary medicines and their beneficial qualities – Availability, Convenience, Compliance, Efficacy, Safety, and Savings – that can be condensed into ACCESS. These features have a significant impact to animal health and well-being, which also directly contributes to human and environmental health,” states Dolores Cainzos, chair of Access VetMed.
