The company was founded in 1967 in Frankfurt, Germany by the brothers Raymond and Mortimer Sackler, the owners of Purdue Pharma at the time. Between 1970 and 1974 two pharmaceutical companies were acquired.^[3] It was the chemical-pharmaceutical factory Krugmann GmbH and the pharmaceutical factory Dr. med. Hans Voigt GmbH.^[4] In 1975 the company moved to Limburg an der Lahn in Germany.

The company is exploring a sale as part of the Purdue Pharma bankruptcy process and Sackler family settlement.^[5] It could fetch as much as $5 billion according to Bloomberg News.
