World Leader

At Novo Nordisk, we strive to be the world's leading diabetes care company, and each of us takes this vision personally. Our highest priority is the health and well being of people living with diabetes. We respect their many lifestyles and individual needs and develop our therapies with those differences in mind.

Through intensive research, Novo Nordisk has created innovative insulin delivery systems as well as disposable needles that were designed to help reduce pain and fear of injection. Using recombinant technology, we have developed novel insulin and insulin analog formulations. We also offer patient education programs, continuing medical education for healthcare professionals, and more, as we strive to meet the individual needs of our customers!

In addition, we hold a leading position in other therapeutic areas, such as coagulation disorders, growth hormone disorders, and hormone therapy for women.

Novo Nordisk has affiliate offices in 81 countries and approximately 27,000 full-time employees worldwide. We reach out to 179 countries around the world with our products and programs. We operate manufacturing facilities in six countries, including the United States.
