Sanofi ups the ante in vaccines—big-time—with new €350M plant

Sanofi CEO Olivier Brandicourt took a hard look at the French drugmaker's operations after he took the helm—and he put its vaccines business front and center in the company's growth plans.

Nothing confirms that decision more obviously than what Sanofi rolled out Thursday: plans for a brand-new €350 million vaccine plant in Canada, one of the company's largest-ever investments on a single facility.
