A ''ferring'' in Frisian is a person from the island Föhr off the western coast of Germany. Mr. Paulsen's family originates from that island. The first major breakthrough was the synthetic production of oxytocin and vasopressin in 1961. With further growth and expansion, the headquarters moved to Copenhagen, Denmark, and subsequently to Saint-Prex, Switzerland, where Ferring Holding SA is now located.〔(businessweek.com: "Pharmaceuticals Company Overview of Ferring Holding SA" ), retrieved 26 May 2014〕 Dutch subsidiary Ferring B.V.〔(businessweek.com: "Pharmaceuticals - Company Overview of Ferring B.V." ), retrieved 26 May 2014〕 expanded to the US in 1980.〔(businessweek.com: "Pharmaceuticals - Company Overview of Ferring Pharmaceuticals, Inc." ), retrieved 26 May 2014〕 The company holds over 5,000 employees with manufacturing facilities in Europe, South America, China and has built two new facilities in the US and in India.
