The international pharmaceutical company Boehringer Ingelheim continues to invest in its Vienna location. Yesterday morning, vice mayor Renate Brauner opened a new administration building in the Boehringer Ingelheim Regional Center Vienna in Meidling. The building has space for approximately 240 employees and costs 17 Million euros. In addition, the company is currently constructing a new laboratory building for cancer research on the site. The planned end of construction is fall 2015 and the costs will be around 20 Million euros. Additional projects are in planning.

Boehringer Ingelheim RCV is responsible for the business activities of the company in more than 30 countries in Central and Eastern Europe, Central Asia as well as Israel and Switzerland. "The office building opened today has around 240 workplaces. In addition, we started the construction of an ultra-modern research building a few months ago," reported Philipp von Lattorff, Country Managing Director, Boehringer Ingelheim RCV, on the occasion of the opening. "Even more investment projects will be awaiting a decision soon. These investments are a major vote of confidence of the owning families and Board of Managing Directors in the quality of the work done in Vienna," says Lattorff.
Crucial for the investments in the Vienna location were a stable political and economic environment as well as stable framework requirements, such as research funding. Von Lattorff thanked the representatives of the city of Vienna for measures already in place to reduce the red tape and support the implementation of projects.
