Pfizer Corporate Office

Pfizer was founded in 1849 as a fine chemical manufacturer by the cousins Charles Pfizer and Charles Erhart under the name Charles Pfizer and Company.

The company’s first success was an antiparasitic called santonin. However, its growth really started when it started producing citric acid in the 1880s.

Penicillin became inexpensive in the 1940s and the company began to look for new antibiotics with higher profit potential. Pfizer’s discovery of Terramycin in 1950 put the company on the path to being a research-based pharmaceutical company.

In 1980 Pfizer launched Fedene, an anti-inflammatory that became its first product to reach $1 billion in sales.

In the 1980s and 1990s Pfizer had a period of growth, with the resulting discoveries of Zoloft, Lipitor, Norvasc, Zithromax, Aricept, Diflucan, and Viagra.

In 2006 Pfizer sold its Consumer Healthcare unit for $16.6 billion to Johnson & Johnson.

Today Pfizer is one of the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies in the world by revenue. Pfizer is part of the Dow 30 and the S&P 500, has 91,500 employees, and had $58.98 billion in revenue in 2012.

WellPoint Corporate Office

WellPoint, Inc is a health benefits company that offers network-based managed care plans to employers, individuals, seniors, and Medicaid in the United States.

WellPoint Health Networks was founded in 1986 by the non-profit Blue Cross of California (BCC) as a for-profit company to operate its managed care business. This was necessary because of several years of multi-million dollar losses for the non-profit.

The company was incorporated in 1992 with BCC’s most profitable operations concentrated in its new company. This move caused controversy and confusion about whether the company was a non or for-profit company. Technically speaking, BCC was non-profit and WellPoint Health Networks was for-profit.

WellPoint, Inc  in its present form was formed when WellPoint Health Networks merged into Anthem, Inc in 2004. The company began trading under the ticker WLP.

In 2009, WellPoint sold its NextRX subsidiaries to Express Scripts for $4.65 billion.

In 2012 WellPoint acquired Amerigroup Corporation for $4.9 billion in cash.

Today WellPoint, Inc has almost 40,000 employees, is part of the S&P 500, and has over $60 billion in revenue each year.
