Company History
Novartis was formed in 1996 through the merger of Ciba-Geigy and Sandoz, two Swiss companies with roots dating back to the 18th century. The name Novartis comes from the Latin 'novae artes', meaning 'new skills'. Since then, it has grown through acquisitions like Alcon (eye care) and Sandoz (generics) to become a global pharmaceutical powerhouse.
