1919
Established in 1919 under the name Zodiac, the company began as a small local enterprise focused on the production and sale of pharmaceuticals, chemicals and hygiene products, while also managing patents and pharmacies. During the 1940s, the company adopted the name Polifarma and began to evolve into an industrial entity, with the gradual expansion of its pharmaceutical manufacturing capabilities
1942
A decisive turning point came in 1942, amid World War II, when Pasquale Materazzi assumed leadership as Sale Director. His guidance, rooted in a strong family vision, proved critical not only to the survival of the company but also to its expansion - a demonstration of vision, pragmatism and entrepreneurial determination
1980-1990
During the 1980s and 1990s, Polifarma strengthened its position through partnerships with multinational pharmaceutical companies, managing the launch and distribution of new molecules. This phase marked a pivotal step in establishing the brand within the Italian pharmaceutical landscape, underpinned by experience, expertise and reliability.
1999
A new chapter began in 1999 when Polifarma was acquired by Final, a holding company founded by the President Luisa Angelini. This transition brought a decisive boost to the organization, transforming corporate culture and triggering a significant evolution in the business model and revenue growth.
