In January 2011 it was reported a former employee is suing subject (pending for a class action) for NIS 13 million on the grounds of not paying for the employee brake time.

 

Apart from that, nothing unfavorable learned.

The "Omeprazole", which received the FDA final approval, will be marketed by PERRIGO in American pharma chains under their private label. Sales expected to reach US$ 150-200 million per year, hence doubling DEXXON Group annual sales already in 2008.

 

Owner and General Manager, Mr. Dan Oren, was quoted to say that with the approvals of DEXXON prescribed drugs that are currently on their shelves, they expect to reach annual sales of US$ 800 million by 2012.

The plants scheduled to start operation on the 2nd quarter of 2009 and employ further 175 employees.
