The history of Novartis began with three companies: Geigy, Ciba and Sandoz. Geigy began in the mid-1700s; a century later, it built a plant and mill in Basel, Switzerland, to produce dyestuffs and pharmaceuticals. Ciba, founded in approximately 1859, was a chemical manufacturer. Sandoz, also located in Basel, was a pharmaceutical manufacturer founded in 1886.
In 1970, the pharmaceutical branch of Ciba spun off to merge with Geigy, creating Ciba-Geigy. Sandoz merged with Ciba-Geigy in 1996 to create Novartis International. Sandoz became the subsidiary that manufactures generic drugs.
Director is the highest paying job at Novartis Pharmaceuticals at $184,000 annually.
