Pfizer continues to invest in Belgium year after year, not least because of the country's technological expertise, high level of personnel training and top-level academic research. Pfizer’s footprint is outstanding in the capital of Europe: in addition to its Belgian headquarters, Pfizer also has a fully equipped Phase I research unit in Brussels (PCRU), its biggest production and packaging site for Europe, located in Puurs, Antwerp, as well as an International Logistics Center which is responsible for two thirds of Pfizer’s worldwide product flow. Pfizer employs more than 5.000 employees in Belgium.
