1948, the time of our foundation, coincides with a crucial moment in human history: the year in which the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was signed. In that same year, in Bologna, Marino Golinelli, just out of college with a degree in pharmaceutical sciences, establishes the company Biochimici Alfa, later to become Alfa Wassermann. The company grows steadily, year after year, thanks to a strong development strategy and a rigorous acquisition plan.
2015-2017. Alfasigma, an all-Italian pharmaceutical company, was founded: the outcome of the union between the Alfa Wassermann and Sigma-Tau groups. The new company immediately gains a spot in the top tier of private players in the pharmaceutical industry, capitalising on the know-how, potential and specialisation of the companies from which it originated.
