Our History

AbbVie may have been founded in 2013, but our roots run deep and our local heritage in New Zealand reaches back more than 77 years. In 2013, we became a separate company from Abbott, though we share a common legacy and strong prospects for future success.

Our name represents our connection to the past and the future. When we became our own company, AbbVie formed a new kind of enterprise—a biopharmaceutical company. We blend the stability, global scale, resources and commercial capabilities of a pharmaceutical company with the focus and culture of a biotech.

Today, our 29,000 employees around the world focus on delivering transformational medicines and therapies that offer significant patient benefits.
