History
Experience From the First Moment On
Since its founding as a Swiss pharmacy Medinova has become an international pharmaceutical company today.
A pharmacist Dr. Fritz Müller together with fellow colleagues founded Medinova AG on 16.02.1945 on the premises of the Römer Pharmacy, Langstrasse, Zurich.
The purpose for founding the company was to manufacture pharmaceutical specialities for pharmacists and to synthesise chemical raw materials.
In 1947 Medinova relocated to Eggbühlstrasse in Zurich Seebach since the premises had become too small for its quickly expanding operations.
Further expansion of its business operations and success in various foreign markets led to the construction of a new company headquarter at Eggbühlstrasse 28, where it is still today.
In 1968 Medinova AG became part of the Diethelm & Co AG. The building underwent additional expansion, and the production facilities were enlarged.
Due to constant, methodical development, various pharmaceutical specialities could now be offered.
In 2004 Medinova was merged into the Swiss DKSH Group.
Since 2004, the focus has been on the marketing and distribution of prescription drugs (Rx) and over-the-counter products (OTC). The entire production is now being processed through contract manufacturers.
Since then, Medinova has been experiencing continuous growth on all continents, thanks to the active management of the lifecycle of its core products and its broad network of partners.
Since 2024, our pharmaceutical products have been marketed in 65 countries.
Olga Lamua Olivar appointed as the new General Manager, continuing to drive the company forward.
