Our history

Since 1955

1955

Founded Laboratorios Salvat

Tomas Miarnau and Dr. Antonio Salvat founded the Company in Barcelona in 1955. Today Salvat is still a family business, led by the descendants of Jose Maria Peris Miarnau, lawyer and nephew of one of the founders, and Elvira Maria Teresa Musso Borras.

1959

Launch of Salvacolina®

Salvacolina® became our first big brand. Dr. Montserrat invented the product, indicated for the symptomatic treatment of unspecific acute diarrhea.

1973

Establishment of the Research, Synthesis and Development Department

This expansion allowed Salvat to achieve full vertical integration at a time when basic research and organic chemistry were the differentiating factors for growing pharmaceutical companies.

1986

Cristalmina® (topical clorhexidine gluconate)

Cristalmina® is an OTC topical antiseptic, leader in the Spanish market and the flagship brand of Salvat.

1995

Cetraxal® Otic (worldwide innovation ciprofloxacin otic solution)

With the launch of Cetraxal® Otic in the 90s we expanded to dominate the Spanish topical antibiotic market, and became a referent in the treatment of ear infections.

1997

Monolitum® (Lansoprazole – own pellets technology)

Around our proprietary Orally Dispersible Tablet technology, we developed Monolitum®. Two decades later, it remains as the go-to product for acute treatment of duodenal ulcers, gastric ulcers and oesophagitis due to gastro-oesophageal reflux.

2000

New R&D Center

With the new millennium we launched a new Research and Development center, primarily focused on pharmaceutical technologies.

2002

Cetraxal® Plus (unique combination ciprofloxacin + fluocinolone otic solution)

Cetraxal® Plus became the first combination of this kind for the treatment of ear infections. With the launch of this product we were solidified as leaders in the otology field.

2005

Our first new chemical entity to reach the market, Ebernet® is sold in 3 continents and we continue to expand its use in alternative indications.

2006

SALVAT USA Inc. is founded. New offices in Miami, FL

With the opening of this wholly owned subsidiary we made a commitment to continue to grow and innovate in the US market.

2007

Blow-Fill-Seal technology is introduced at our production facility

A decade ago we identified Blow-Fill-Seal (BFS) as the technology of the future for aseptic and preservative manufacturing. BFS would soon become the basis of our innovation and would allow us to develop leading products for international markets.

2008

Malacur® launched in Africa

Malacur® has grown to be one of the go-to brands for the treatment of malaria in Africa. The product allowed us to expand our presence through various African territories.

2009

FDA approval and US launch of Cetraxal® Otic in single use vials

A new star was born in 2009 with the launch of Cetraxal® Otic in the US. In combination with our Blow-Fill-Seal technology, we led the full development of the product to become the first Spanish pharmaceutical company with a marketed Rx product in the US.

2016

Otovel® (ciprofloxacin + fluocinolone) partnerships and launches in multiple regions, including the USA

Shortly following the launch of our first product in the US, we launched the second, Otovel®. Its current and future indications have the potential to become the leading brand for the topical treatment of ear infections in the US.

2016

New Blow-Fill-Seal manufacturing line in the USA

With our growing presence in the US, we identified the opportunity to own our first FDA-approved manufacturing facility. This expanded facility in the US will increase efficiency and will assist us with local innovation while offering contract manufacturing services to third parties.
