1. IDT Biologika GmbH, Dessau-Roßlau: 213 million euros in sales
The “Bacteriological, Serum and Hygienic Institute” founded in Dessau in 1921 is the nucleus of today’s IDT Biologika company. In 1951, the institute became the “VEB Serum-Werk Dessau”, an important GDR company for veterinary and human vaccines. Further renaming and restructuring followed – after reunification into a limited liability company and under the name “Impfstoffwerk Dessau-Tornau”, or “IDT” for short. This then became today’s IDT Biologika GmbH. The company produces biotechnologically developed vaccines and pharmaceuticals with approximately 1,500 employees. It sees itself as a full-service provider that handles the entire value chain from contract development to production, warehousing and shipping. IDT Biologika is part of the Baden-based pharmaceutical company Klocke.
