Serolf Trading Agency Ltd, the established supplier to animal healthcare professionals, is to distribute Novartis Animal Health in Malta.

Novartis was created in 1996 by the merger of Swiss-based life sciences companies Ciba-Geigy and Sandoz, the largest merger in corporate history at the time.

Novartis has since transformed itself from a diverse group, including animal health and agribusiness, to a highly focused leading healthcare company. The name Novartis (derived from the Latin words for new skills) reflects the commitment to focusing on research.

Novartis Animal Health is dedicated to saving, prolonging and improving animal lives, both pets and farm animals, by bringing to market innovative treatments designed to meet the needs of pet owners, farmers and veterinarians.

Together with Novartis Animal Health, Serolf is at the forefront of new and better treatments for the most common pet ailments, such as internal and external parasites and arthritic pain control, as well as kidney, heart and allergic diseases. The majority of these products are available by prescription through veterinarians and dispensing from animal pharmacies.

Headquartered in Basel, and present in almost 40 countries, Novartis Animal Health employs 2,600 associates worldwide.
