Boehringer Ingelheim has been a contracted vendor for years for Amgen so the 
contracting just became a little larger today and employees now belong to Boehringer Ingelheim.
Boehringer Ingelheim was also in the news last year with their FDA approval of Pradaxa, an alternative for blood thinning to Warfarin. BD
