Iris Pharma, Winner of the High Performance Prize in the Growth Category
Since 1989, Iris Pharma has been specializing in ophthalmology, a profitable niche market associated with an aging population. Despite a sensitive economic context, its choice of specialization, combined with a coherent, long-term corporate strategy, made it possible to achieve continuous growth between 2008 and 2009. “We are proud to be awarded this famous « High Performance Prize » from Les Echos. It recognizes 21 years of innovation, of seeking the most appropriate solutions for our customers, of commitment in the quest of ever better quality of service and responsiveness, and the wish to help patients suffering from eye conditions” declares Pierre-Paul Elena, CEO of Iris Pharma.
In 2011, Iris Pharma plans to create new subsidiaries in Spain, followed by then in Italy and Germany. Significant investments in equipment are also on the 2011 agenda notably with the purchase of an OCT (Optical Coherence Tomograph) – a high performance imagery technique – in order to be equipped with the latest generation apparatus and stay ahead of the competition.
