Kedrion distributes its products in over 100 countries around the world. We have plants in Italy, Hungary, UK and North America, and plasma collection centers in the US and in the Czech Republic. With these figures we are the world’s 5th top player in the field of plasma-derived products. Our goal is to build a diverse and professional workforce, providing job opportunities for talented external candidates as well as internal employees who aim to grow with us.
