Vetoquinol USA . . . A brief history
l Vetoquinol typically enters new markets through acquisition or joint venture.à Vetoquinol set its footprint in the U.S. through the acquisition of:
» The Pet Products business of IGI, Inc. in 2002, and» Vet Solutions, L.P. in 2006» We expanded into the Large Animal segment through the acquisition of Bioniche Animal Health, Inc.
in 2014
à Our Companion Animal Veterinary business, based on the acquisition of IGI Pet Products and Vet Solutions, is less pharmaceutical-based than other Vetoquinol affiliates.
à Our growth strategy for the U.S. is based on bringing more registered products to U.S. veterinarians.

Adaptation
In the long history of humankind (and animal kind, too) those who learned to collaborate and improvise most effectively have prevailed. It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is most adaptable to change. - Charles Darwin
