Global Colleagues: Talent & Passion
Colleagues
It is the tireless commitment of all our colleagues within manufacturing and supply that makes our supply chain one of the most resilient in the industry.
At Pfizer, innovation isn’t limited to just developing lifesaving medicines – it also extends to how we make them. From small molecules to breakthrough oncology medicines, our manufacturing and supply colleagues work all over the world to produce hundreds of different medicines and vaccines and get them to people where and when they need them.
Our innovators leverage their technical know-how to solve problems every day, from designing solutions like a thermal shipper that doubles as an ultra-cold freezer for the COVID-19 vaccine to using augmented reality to diagnose and repair equipment. And there are countless other examples of innovation at work.
They’re doing all of this within a resilient global network of:
- 39 manufacturing sites and 11 distribution/logistics centers
- 28,000 global manufacturing and distribution colleagues
- Supplying medicines and vaccines to 181 countries
- Delivering more than 25 billion doses every year

Throughout our 173-year history, we’ve built the industry’s most innovative manufacturing infrastructure, which was put to the test during the COVID-19 pandemic and is poised to take on the next global health challenge:
- Our colleagues cut our COVID-19 manufacturing timeline from 110 days to 60 days, while remaining as focused as ever on safety, quality and compliance.
- We used GPS-enabled thermal sensors to ensure our cold chain distribution delivered our vaccines at the right temperature.
- We efficiently brought on manufacturing partners for our COVID-19 vaccine, completing complex technology transfers in nine to 18 months.

Gene Therapy
As our R&D colleagues develop gene therapies, we continue to expand our manufacturing footprint to ensure these potential treatment options get to patients as quickly as possible, subject to approvals.
Pfizer has invested in three facilities to scale up gene therapies from lab flasks to large reactors and produce thousands of doses of medicine per year. We focus on the four key steps to gene manufacturing: raw material preparation, upstream processes, downstream processes, and product completion and packaging.
Learn more about how we manufacture gene therapies at our site in North Carolina.
