Brand History and Origins

Teva was founded in 1901 in Jerusalem, beginning its journey as a small wholesale drug distributor. Over the decades, it evolved into a global powerhouse in the pharmaceutical industry. The company's name, 'Teva,' means 'Nature' in Hebrew, reflecting its initial focus on naturally derived medicinal solutions and its deep roots in Israeli history.

Their products are manufactured in multiple countries across Europe, North America, and Asia to fulfill global demand. The company maintains rigorous quality control standards across all its international labs and factories to ensure safety and efficacy for millions of patients worldwide.
