Ibi was founded in 1918 by Professor Giovanni Lorenzini. A long tradition in the field of scientific research together with the innovative technologies applied and the level of care and attention to production have given Ibi its reputation for reliability and high quality.

The Ibi plant covers an area of 18,000 square metres, on which a new building is entirely dedicated to the production of ß-lactamics. Offering state of the art service and technology, Ibi is among the top ten Italian companies in toll manufacturing. 

Today Ibi is present in over 30 countries, exporting its entire product range and two thirds of its total production. It is one of few companies not producing in the United States that has obtained FDA approval for the production of sterile penicillin for the American market.

Ibi has developed a new distribution strategy directly to hospitals, entrusting the sales of its products to a special new organization, Ibisqus, created in joint venture and present in the UK, Germany and Italy.

Ibi is present on the Italian market with a variety of products ranging from sterile penicillin to food supplements. It has long been well reputed for its products in the areas of antibiotic therapy and gastroenterology.
