About This Company
The company wass named after chemist Charles Pfizer
(1824-1906) who launched his chemicals business from a building in
Williamsburg, Brooklyn in 1849. Here, he produced an antiparasitic called
santonin. This was an immediate success, although it was the production of
citric acid that really kick-started Pfizer's growth in the 1880s.
By 1910, sales totalled nearly $3 million, and Pfizer
became established as an expert in fermentation technology. These skills
were applied to the mass production of penicillin during the World War II,
in response to an appeal from the US government. The antibiotic was urgently
needed to treat injured Allied soldiers, and it soon became known as "the
miracle drug". In fact, most of the penicillin that went ashore with the
troops on D-Day was made by Pfizer.
By the 1950s, Pfizer was established in Belgium, Brazil,
Canada, Cuba, Mexico, Panama, Puerto Rico and the United Kingdom.
In 2000, Pfizer merged with Warner-Lambert in order to
acquire full rights to Lipitor (atorvastatin), the blockbuster statin
previously jointly marketed by Warner-Lambert and Pfizer. Warner-Lambert was
based in Morris Plains, New Jersey where their former headquarters has now
become a major base of operations for Pfizer. The Morris Plains facility is
mostly used for administrative purposes. Most of Pfizer's research is done
in Groton, Connecticut and Sandwich, England.
In 2002, Pfizer merged with competitor Pharmacia to become
the largest pharmaceutical company in the world. The merger was again driven
in part by the desire to acquire full rights to a blockbuster product, this
time Celebrex (celecoxib), the COX-2 selective inhibitor previously jointly
marketed by Searle (acquired by Pharmacia) and Pfizer.
