PFIZER Inc's joint venture with Zhejiang Hisun Pharmaceutical Co plans to hire 600 people in China by the end of the year, its chief executive said.
Hisun-Pfizer Pharmaceuticals Co, is seeking staff in manufacturing, research and development, commercial and support functions such as finance, CEO Kevin Xiao said in an interview yesterday. Hisun-Pfizer aims to have 1,000 employees in the world's most populous nation by December, and around 1,500 by the end of 2013, Xiao said.
"We are trying to attract appropriate people for the positions," said Xiao, who was previously a general manager at New York-based Pfizer's China business. "So far, in the sales force, we have more Pfizer people, but in manufacturing, it's the other way around."
Pfizer, the world's largest drugmaker, holds 49 percent in the venture, while Zhejiang Hisun holds the rest. The companies signed the framework agreement for the venture in February during Chinese Vice President Xi Jinping's visit to the US. Xi and former US Secretary of Commerce John Bryson attended the signing ceremony, the companies said in a statement yesterday.
