History of Novo Nordisk
In the 1920s, two small Danish companies began producing insulin, which had just been discovered by a team of Canadian scientists. Nordisk Insulin laboratorium was founded in 1923.
A year later, Novo Terapeutisk Laboratorium was born, and began producing "Insulin Novo" and a special syringe. Over the decades, these two companies grew to be global leaders in insulin production. In January 1989, Novo and Nordisk decided to join forces to form a new company called Novo Nordisk A/S.
