Orifarm

New initiatives to reduce energy consumption at Orifarm in Łyszkowice, Poland! At Orifarm, we continuously invest in building a better and more sustainable future. This includes initiatives to reduce our energy consumption.   The largest share of Orifarm’s direct energy consumption is at our production site in Łyszkowice, Poland. Therefore, initiatives to reduce Orifarm’s CO2 footprint and energy consumption are given high priority. All part of our ongoing Lean Energy initiative to boost energy efficiency and sustainability. ⚡ Freecooling Project: We've enhanced our Freecooling system, which uses winter air to cool our facilities without energy-intensive compressors. By repurposing existing drycoolers, this modernization will save electricity annually by efficiently operating at temperatures below +5°C. ⚡ Heat Recovery from Air Compressors: Partnering with Atlas Copco, we've innovatively repurposed the heat generated by our air compressors to power technological equipment. This initiative will save thermal energy annually. ⚡ Heat pump installation: Our new installation to support a heat pump from Gazuno, connected to our chilled water return pipeline. Expected to save more thermal electrical energy annually, this project will reduce our carbon footprint and enhance our sustainable practices. At Orifarm, we believe that every step towards innovation and energy savings greatly impacts our future and brings us further in our sustainability journey.

At Orifarm, we are proud to have over 70 Student Assistants who contribute to maintaining Orifarm’s day-to-day operations. Through their work, the Student Assistants gain professional experience that complements their studies. We provide Student Assistants with opportunities to network and socialize through the association SNO, Student Network Orifarm, who organizes various events. The most recent event was planned as a go-kart race followed by a dinner but then took an unexpected turn. 🏎️ A bowling tournament was added to the agenda, leading to a successful event. Many Student Assistants enjoyed an evening filled with competition, a grill buffet, and ice cream. The event was an opportunity to show appreciation for the Student Assistants’ daily effort at Orifarm. The daily contributions provide them with responsibilities, allowing them to work professionally side by side and equally with other colleagues before graduating from their studies. Thank you to SNO and the Student Assistants for making a great effort. 🙌

Our headquarters in Odense, Denmark, is located close to Syddansk Universitet - University of Southern Denmark, which is one of the educational institutions we often collaborate with, and just last week, we had the pleasure of wrapping up an exciting case collaboration between Orifarm’s Business Development team and 3rd and 5th semester students from the university in their International B2B Marketing course. 🎓 Our Senior Business Development Manager, Frederik Bach Seferovic, presented the students with a relevant case focusing on market expansion. This real-world challenge encourages the students to apply their B2B marketing skills and think strategically about international market expansion. 🌍 We look forward to reviewing their final projects at the end of their semester and getting inspired by their innovative ideas! A big thank you to all participating students and to Lasse Sjulstok Klokker, Elham Kalhor, PhD., and Jannek K. Sommer for giving us the opportunity to contribute with a real-world case, connect with young talent, and gain valuable insights.

Denmark is the country with the most affordable generic medicines in Europe for 2024, as per Danish Pharmacy Association's (Danmarks Apotekerforening) latest report published last week. This recognition underscores the vital role generic medicines play in providing accessible and affordable healthcare to all. At Orifarm, we are dedicated to delivering high-quality, cost-effective alternatives to brand-name medicines. By adhering to stringent regulations and maintaining rigorous quality standards, we ensure that patients receive the best possible care at an affordable price. The report points to different key drivers of this success, including: 💊 A dynamic biweekly tariff system that fosters competition and keeps prices competitive 💊 Legal mandates requiring pharmacies to offer patients the most cost-effective alternatives 💊 The ability for pharmacists to substitute with more affordable generic variants as alternatives to brand-medicines We are proud to contribute to this achievement and remain committed to our mission of making healthcare more accessible to create healthy days for as many as possible.
