COMPANY Profile

Elanco provides those who raise and care for animals with solutions that empower them to advance a vision of food and companionship enriching life.

It understands the powerful role healthy animals play in making lives better.

As pets increasingly become important parts of families, so too does the need to help them live longer, healthier, higher-quality lives.

As the global population grows, so too will the need to meet the demand for safe, affordable food for all.

Since its start at Eli Lilly and Company in 1954, Elanco has been working to empower its customers—from veterinarians to food producers to all those concerned with animal health—to address these global challenges, and advance a vision of food and companionship enriching life.

Elanco strives to develop and deliver products safe for consumers, animals and the environment through innovation and a shared vision to enrich the life of people worldwide.

In September 2018, Elanco became a stand-alone public company.
