About Argenta

Healthier animals made possible by one global team: that's Argenta. Since our founding in 2006, we've grown into the world's only combined contract research and contract development and manufacturing organisation (CRO/CDMO) dedicated solely to animal health — developing and manufacturing products that improve the lives of pets and livestock alike.

One team culture with four core values:
