Steroid was initially founded under the name Dofra in 1953 by Dr. Domenico Fracassi, one of the pioneers of Italian pharmaceutical manufacturing. Ten years later, the company changed its name to Steroid, inheriting all the business licenses, activities and premises of its predecessor.
In the last 70 years Steroid has continued to grow and develop in the synthesis of steroids’ esters field, supplying high quality APIs both for human and veterinary use to customers in more than 30 countries worldwide, with a strong commitment to quality and innovation.
Investments in the company’s facilities and in the Team, started ten years ago, are now driving Steroid expansion in the CDMO landscape.
