The Swiss pharmaceutical market evolves during the 20th century to become one of most advanced globally.

Farmacia Centrale develops a cross-border supply chain to serve unmet needs from Italy and other nearby countries.

1915 - The founding year

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.
