UPSA becomes the first pharmaceutical laboratory to be certified “Origine France Garantie” for all of its medicines.

This distinction confirms that 100% of UPSA medicines are manufactured in France, making the laboratory the first pharmaceutical player whose entire production intended for the French market is carried out on national soil.

In a context where the label “Made in France” can sometimes be misleading, UPSA chooses verified transparency. Origine France Garantie is not a promise; it is proof.

While only 30% of the medicines consumed in France are still produced locally, UPSA is making a clear and lasting commitment: to manufacture 100% of its medicines for France in France, thereby ensuring safety, traceability, and quality for patients.

 

A demanding and recognized label

The Origine France Garantie certification is now officially recognized as a demanding label for products made in France.

To be eligible, a product must:

  • Acquire its essential characteristics in France (formulation, manufacturing, quality control, packaging);
  • Generate at least 50% of its added value in France. For UPSA, this share reaches an average of 75%.

This certification is based on an independent audit renewed every year, ensuring the rigor and transparency of the process.

UPSA, a French industrial commitment since 1935

For 90 years, UPSA has been manufacturing its medicines in France.
Based in Agen, the company leverages scientific and industrial expertise deeply rooted in the Lot-et-Garonne region.
This local anchoring is not circumstantial: it is a strategic and responsible choice, serving both patients and the country’s healthcare sovereignty.

“Many talk about Made in France. At UPSA, it is not a trend: it is our story. For 90 years, we have been producing our medicines here, and today, we can prove it. Origine France Garantie is not a marketing slogan: it is proof.”
— Isabelle Van Rycke, President and CEO of the UPSA Group

“UPSA is a symbol of French industrial expertise. Being the first pharmaceutical laboratory certified Origine France Garantie is a strong testament to our commitment and loyalty to patients and to the country.”
— Gilles Attaf, President of the Origine France Garantie Association
