FarmaMondo SA and Farmacia Centrale are no longer a family-owned business. New leadership joins the company, led by a group of investors and experienced pharma entrepreneurs. A new era begins for FarmaMondo.

FarmaMondo partners for the first time with an innovator seeking to establish a managed access programme to serve unmet named patient needs.

70 years after its establishment, FarmaMondo has endured the test of time by always operating in a sustainable and responsible manner as any good Swiss business should. As medical needs and relevant regulations have evolved, so has FarmaMondo, becoming a solid pharmaceutical service business with a focus on supplying unlicensed medicines internationally.

With the introduction of the internet, FarmaMondo gains wide recognition as a major brand providing access to Swiss medicines. Through a simple web page offering access to medicines, FarmaMondo becomes the supply partner of many healthcare providers in Europe and Asia.

Mr Bernasconi decides to expand the company’s export activities and establishes a Swiss holding company – FarmaMondo SA is born. Mr Bernasconi choses a brand name that reflects his vision of delivering access to pharmaceuticals at an international level. Farmacia Centrale lives on as a subsidiary of FarmaMondo SA, focusing exclusively on the local community.

Mr Bernasconi, a third-generation member of the Bernasconi family and a young pharmacist educated in Zurich, takes over the management of Farmacia Centrale.

The Swiss pharmaceutical market evolves during the 20^th century to become one of most advanced globally. This leads to cross-border demand for Swiss therapies from patients and doctors in neighbouring Italy. Farmacia Centrale develops a cross-border supply chain to serve unmet needs from Italy and other nearby countries.

Farmacia Centrale, the roots of the current FarmaMondo Group, is established as a private community pharmacy in the heart of the small Swiss border town of Chiasso. It is run by the Bernasconi family and serves the needs of the local population, numbering a few thousand.
