Pfizer Canada is the Canadian operation of New York-based Pfizer Inc, the world's largest pharmaceutical company. Pfizer's mission is to discover and develop innovative medicines and other products to improve the quality of life of people and animals around the world.
Pfizer was founded in 1849 by German cousins Charles Pfizer and Charles Erhart who emigrated to the U.S. from Germany in 1848. Initially established as a small "fine chemicals" factory in Brooklyn, New York, Pfizer specialized in producing high-quality chemicals for the food industry and fledgling pharmaceutical businesses. Pfizer's direct activities in pharmaceuticals began during the Second World War when it used its chemical expertise to become a pioneer in the mass production of the "miracle drug" penicillin, the first shipments of which were sent to Allied troops for the D-Day invasion in 1944. Following the war, the company continued its research into antibiotics, resulting in the development in the early 1950s of the antibiotic terramycin. Through the rest of the century, Pfizer developed and marketed many more innovative medicines in a wide range of therapeutic areas, including arthritis, cardiovascular disease, endocrinology, infectious disease, mental health, neurological disease, oncology and ophthalmology.
