It all started back in 1849, when Charles Pfizer and Company opened as a fine-chemicals business. It was a modest red-brick building in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn, New York. It served as office, laboratory, factory, and warehouse. The company's first product was santonin--a palatable antiparasitic which was an immediate success. For the past 154 years, Pfizer has been discovering, developing, manufacturing, and marketing leading prescription medicines for humans and animals and many for the world's best-known consumer brands.
追根溯源,1849年,查爾斯輝瑞公司宣告成立,經營精細化學品。當時,公司只是個普普通通的紅磚建筑,地處紐約布魯克林區(qū)的威廉姆斯堡地段。大樓既是辦公樓、試驗室,又是工廠和倉庫。公司的第一個產品叫“三托寧”,是一種味道不錯的抗寄生蟲藥。上市之后,大受歡迎。的此后的154年中,輝瑞公司不停地發(fā)現(xiàn)、發(fā)展、制作、推銷領先的處方藥品,既有給人使用的,也有動物使用的,還有許多世界上最著名的消費品牌。
