OM Pharma is a Swiss multinational biopharmaceutical company headquartered in Geneva.

OM Pharma was originally founded in Barcelona in 1930 and later moved its headquarters to Geneva in 1937 under the leadership of Jean-René Ricard, a French Pharmacist. In 2020, the company was acquired by Optimus Holding, led by Etienne Jornod, which committed to significant investments in its research and manufacturing capabilities.[1][2]

The company specialises in the development and commercialization of bacterial lysate-based products., aimed at preventing respiratory and urinary tract infections by training the immune system.[3] OM Pharma's pipeline focuses on future applications of lysates.

In 2021, OM Pharma was awarded the Geneva Economy Award[4]. The independent jury noted OM Pharma’s economic and social policy which aims at the long-term development of the company; all its profits are reinvested in research and development (R&D)[5][6].
