Meitheal is Ranked #4 on Crain’s 2023 Fast 50 in Chicago

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Meitheal Pharmaceuticals (“Meitheal”), a fully integrated generic injectables company based in Chicago, is proud to be ranked #4 on Crain’s Chicago Business 2023 Fast 50.

“Meitheal was among a variety of companies showcased that have demonstrated significant revenue growth in a five-year period,” said CEO Tom Shea. “This is a huge accomplishment for Meitheal and we are very proud of the entire team for this award.”

Crain’s Chicago Business is the nation's pre-eminent regional business newspaper that delivers breaking news, cutting-edge analysis, thoughtful opinion and informative events to Chicago's corporate, civic and cultural leaders through a weekly print edition as well as through a suite of curated newsletters centered on the publication's website, ChicagoBusiness.com. The Fast 50 provides a full ranking and exclusive profiles on Chicago’s fastest-growing companies in 2023.

With a 5-year revenue growth of over 36,000%, Meitheal’s steady climb can be attributed in part to its parent company, China-based manufacturer Nanjing King Friend (NKF), which allows Meitheal to reduce costs as much as possible in its mission to provide quality, affordable injectables to patients, and to get new products approved and to market quickly.
