It’s design meets the regulatory requirements of all global markets.

The New Zealand company was started as Trentham Veterinary Laboratories in 1946 by Lewis Fitch, OBE, D. Sc Hon, BSc, FACVSc. Lewis Fitch applied for a licence to manufacture clostridial vaccines locally and in 1951 production began at the present Whakatiki Street site. From a small family business, Trentham Veterinary Laboratories was to become New Zealand’s leading animal health company.
