Supporting your growth
Professional growth is fast at Lonza because we are fortunate to work on different types of drugs. This variety makes the work interesting and exciting as you never know what impact you will make.
My work helps deliver medicine to people who need it, like my family. I have family members with health conditions that require medication in capsule form, and I am proud to know that we make those capsules at Lonza and help enable people to live healthier lives.
Lonza provides many ways for employees to contribute to its mission, something I am dedicated to achieving, and alongside those come many opportunities to grow and advance as a professional.
