Our History
Wyeth has been transforming the pharmaceutical industry since its founding in the 1860s. What began as a small drugstore - John Wyeth and Brother, 1410 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania - is now one of the leading pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies in the world.
Even from the first, Wyeth's history has been one of innovation. The Wyeth brothers' firm was more than just a drugstore; it was also a research laboratory that transformed the way drugstores operated. Later known as Wyeth Laboratories, it became the first to "advance manufacture" frequently prescribed medicines in bulk.
In 1931, American Home Products (AHP) purchased Wyeth from Harvard University, which had acquired controlling interest in the firm from John Wyeth's son and heir, Stuart, upon his death. Seven decades of mergers and acquisitions (with leading health care companies, including Ayerst, McKenna & Harrison Ltd; A.H. Robins; and Lederle Laboratories) have transformed the company into a research powerhouse that markets over-the-counter and prescription medicines in more than 100 countries around the globe. Today, this vast research, development, and marketing complex again bears the Wyeth name.
