ALK has an unrivalled understanding of allergens and how they affect the human body, as well as the link between allergy and respiratory diseases such as asthma.
ALK is a research-driven, global pharmaceutical company focusing on allergy prevention, diagnosis and treatment. We are the foremost innovators in allergy immunotherapy – a unique treatment which reduces allergic symptoms and treats the cause of the allergy.
ALK employs around 2,300 employees worldwide and has affiliates, production facilities and distributors around the globe. Today, around 1.5 million people worldwide use our products.
Our development programme covers the four most important outdoor allergens in Europe, the USA and Japan (grass, birch and related trees, ragweed and Japanese cedar) and the most important indoor allergen in the world (house dust mites).
ALK has been at the forefront of allergy treatment for almost a century. Our story can be traced back to a small laboratory in Copenhagen, Denmark, in 1923.
