2000s:
Innovation and Resilience
The new millennium brought both challenges and breakthroughs. While some facilities ceased operations as part of a transformation, Lilly continued to invest heavily in Puerto Rico, inaugurating state-of-the-art buildings, introducing new technologies, and acquiring the Guayama site for chemical operations. Employees proudly produced life-changing medicines like Cymbalta, Cialis, and Humalog. At the same time, initiatives like the Lilly Wellness Center and “Poncha con tu Seguridad” showed that the company was equally committed to the well-being of its people. Families continued to see Lilly as a place of opportunity and growth, where children often followed in the footsteps of their parents, keeping the commitment of making medicine with safety first and quality always.
