History
ABC was founded in Turin in 1925 by the pharmacist Giovanni Giraudi. In 1949, he turned the small company into a pharmaceutical company dedicated to the development and manufacturing of medicines for human health.
In 1960 the “ABC Research Centre” was established and several international patents were filed expecially in the pneumologic and gastroenterological fields. Some of these products are still available today such as Ansimar, Ursobil, Colifagina and Ferritin.
The growth continued and in the following years ABC Farmaceutici became very well recognised both at national and international level. In 2021 ICE Pharma bought ABC and it is now a fully integrated part of the company.
