History
Siegfried is active in both primary and secondary pharmaceutical manufacturing. The company develops and produces active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) for the research-based pharmaceutical industry, as well as related intermediates and controlled substances. It also offers development and manufacturing services for finished pharmaceutical formulations, including sterile filling.
In 1873, pharmacist Samuel Benoni Siegfried and brother-in-law Johann Wilhelm Dürselen founded Siegfried & Dürselen in Zofingen to supply pharmacies. In 1927, Siegfried partners with Gane & Ingram to start Ganes Chemical Works Inc. in New Jersey. On it's 100 year anniversary, Siegfried was listed on the Basel Stock Exchange (now the SIX Swiss Exchange) in 1973. In 2001, the holding company was split into Siegfried and Sidroga. A year later, the US company Ganes was acquired by the Siegfried Group and renamed "Siegfried USA Inc." [1]
