Biotechnology is one of the most promising manufacturing sectors of the 21st century. Intensive research has led to the development and production of new drugs that greatly contribute to quality of life. IDT Biologika is a medium-sized company founded over 95 years ago in Dessau, Germany, where it is still headquartered. The company now operates subsidiaries worldwide to continue its mission of improving the health of humans and animals through its products and services. IDT uses biotechnology to manufacture vaccines and pharmaceuticals for national and international markets.
Company sites in Germany include the BioPharmaPark in Dessau-Rosslau and the Riems district of Greifswald. IDT's Animal Health business is marketed internationally from its offices in Denmark, the Netherlands, France, Spain, Poland, China and Canada. In the United States, IDT Corporation operates a production site for clinical test samples in Rockville, Maryland. In Canada, IDT Biologika subsidiary Gallant Custom Laboratories manufactures autogenous vaccines. The same vaccines are produced by the recently acquired IDT subsidiary in the United Kingdom, Ridgeway Biologicals.
