1892

Early Twentieth Century

Molteni Farmaceutici was founded in 1892, the year the first Italian official Pharmacopeia was published. Alfredo Alitti, a young pharmacist from the Marche region, was appointed director of Leone Molteni’s pharmacy, one of the oldest in Florence, located in Piazza della Signoria.

In the backyard of the Molteni Pharmacy, Alfredo Alitti set up a laboratory where, with the help of Florentine glassmakers, he produced the first Italian sterilized hypodermic vials, thanks to a particular know-how acquired in France.

Over a century of solid history, awareness of its quality and the ability to look with determination to the future and to its work with intense involvement, make the company a recognized excellence in the increasingly global pharmaceuticals market. Being Molteni is a recognized and shared value for all those people that work in the company each day, applying the highest ethical and qualitative standards in each process and behavior; excellence is a value and a goal achieved, but at the same time a goal to be achieved every day and certified by prestigious awards such as the Elite Certificate of the Italian Stock Exchange.

Molteni Farmaceutici, with its products distributed in more than 25 countries, has 2 corporate offices in Italy (Florence and Milan), a sister company in Poland (Krakow) and is part of a joint venture in Great Britain (Scotland).

The main production site is in Scandicci, in the province of Florence: a modern, 10,000 m2 facility, supplied with innovative technological and scientific equipment allowing cutting-edge quality and production volumes.
