Cara Partners manufacture a standardised extract of Ginkgo Biloba, an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), at their Little Island plant. Cara Partners is a joint venture between the Ipsen Group of France and the Schwabe Group of Germany. The parent companies discovered, through clinical trials, that the extract of Ginkgo Biloba had significant pharmacological activity and, in 1978, they decided to produce the extract on a production scale in Cork.
