Abbott Laboratories (US)

Less well-known than some of its competitors, Abbott Laboratories is nonetheless one of the world's biggest pharmaceutical companies. The group markets a wide variety of pharmaceutical products as well as medical devices and nutritional products. Key products include the arthritis drug Humira, nutritional supplement Ensure and FreeStyle blood glucose monitoring devices. Abbott was also until recently one of the partners in TAP Pharmaceuticals, a joint venture with Takeda of Japan which marketed the latter's multi-billion-selling ulcer treatment Prevacid in North America. That business was disbanded in 2008. Click here to access the Adbrands profile (subscribers only); or subscribe to Adbrands.net here.
