Roche Holding AG's headquarters is located in Basel, Switzerland.
Roche, formally F. Hoffmann-La Roche AG, was founded in Basel in 1896 and has kept its corporate headquarters in the city. Its Basel site includes major administrative and research facilities and is one of the most recognizable pharmaceutical headquarters complexes in Europe.
The company is often discussed alongside Genentech, the American biotechnology company Roche acquired in 2009. Genentech remains an important Roche subsidiary based in South San Francisco, but that location is not Roche Holding AG's headquarters.
Basel sits at Switzerland's borders with France and Germany and has a long history as a center for chemicals and pharmaceuticals. Roche also operates research, manufacturing, and commercial sites worldwide, while Basel remains the headquarters of the global holding company.
