About Wockhardt
Wockhardt UK is one of the largest generic pharmaceutical companies in the United Kingdom, with a proud history of partnering with the NHS to provide quality medicines for over 60 years. Based in Wrexham, North Wales, the company specialises in the manufacture and supply of both generic and branded pharmaceutical products to the NHS, UK supermarkets, pharmacy chains, and wholesalers. The company supplies over 170 product lines including many critical medicines, manufactured both at their sterile facility in the UK and through their global network. For consumers, Wockhardt is most familiar through their over-the-counter medicines found in supermarkets across the country. They manufacture paracetamol, ibuprofen, and aspirin for multiple retailers, available in both their own Wockhardt packaging and under customer own-label branding. Wockhardt's Wrexham site employs around 400 people and plays a vital role in the local community. The facility gained national prominence during the COVID-19 pandemic when the company was contracted by the UK Government to fill-finish the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine, a contract that extended until August 2022. This responsibility demonstrated the trust placed in Wockhardt's manufacturing capabilities and quality standards. As a respected supplier of generic medicines, Wockhardt makes essential healthcare products accessible and affordable for UK consumers. Whether you're picking up pain relief at your local supermarket or receiving prescription medication through the NHS, there's a good chance the product was manufactured by this long-established British pharmaceutical company.
