Angelini is a medium-sized private international group. Born in Italy in the early twentieth century, the Angelini group has offices in 20 countries. Led by President Francesco Angelini, the group employs approximately 4000 people.
The story of Angelini started in 1919 in a small laboratory in Ancona. In 1940 ACRAF was founded, which stands for Aziende Chimiche Riunite Angelini Francesco, whose main activities are the production and distribution of drugs. Immediately after the war, Francesco Angelini imported vitamin B12 into Italy, a tonic for treating anemia, a widespread disease at that time. The drug is produced and marketed under the trademark Dobetin.
At the beginning of the fifties the company expanded its operations to Rome, where the head office is now situated. During the same period, company activities were diversified and Angelini entered the field of consumer goods: 1958 saw the foundation of Fater, a Pescara based company active in the production of baby diapers and sanitary napkins. In the same year, Tachipirina was launched on the market, an anti-flu drug containing paracetamol.
