In 1950, Pfizer came to India via a company named Dumex and its first production unit was being set up at Darukhanna in Mumbai. The Company manufactured products such as Isonex, Protinex, Becosules, and Corex. In 1960, it set up one more plant located at Thane, near Mumbai with the purpose of manufacturing and conducting product research. In 1965, the company entered into a license agreement with Pfizer Corporation for the use of Pfizer’s processes, and technical know-how, and more for manufacturing its current products. Later in the year 1992, Dumex was being amalgamated with the Pfizer.
