Abstract:

Created in 1886 - a small plant for the production of dyestuffs, located in Basle - SANDOZ is today well known throughout the world for its dyestuffs, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, dietetic and hospital supply products, thanks to its considerable network of more than 40 affiliated companies and distribution organisations which sell the products manufactured by the Head Offices, and also their own products - as most affiliates have their own production and research centres. This liberal expansion has enabled SANDOZ to make the best of economic and political situations which are in permanent change.
