MYLAN INC

Direct Answer: Trading Company

Company Introduction: MYLAN INC (now part of Viatris Inc.) in Taiwan

MYLAN INC, which is now part of Viatris Inc. following a merger with Upjohn in 2020, operated in Taiwan primarily as a commercial entity. Its main function was the marketing, sales, and distribution of its pharmaceutical products within the Taiwanese market. It did not typically operate as a manufacturing factory in Taiwan. Instead, it imported pharmaceutical products manufactured at its global facilities and distributed them locally. Therefore, its operations in Taiwan are best characterized as those of a trading company or a commercial sales and marketing office, rather than a manufacturing plant.

Mylan Inc., as an independent entity, merged with Upjohn to form Viatris in November 2020. Therefore, products previously manufactured or sold by Mylan in Taiwan are now part of Viatris's extensive portfolio.

Viatris in Taiwan primarily offers a wide range of generic and branded generic pharmaceutical products, biosimilars, and some over-the-counter consumer healthcare products. Their product portfolio spans across various therapeutic areas to address significant health needs.
