Approaching the end of a 20 year career at a major pharmaceutical company, Dan Badia made a discovery.

Dan’s practices in chemical research and regulatory affairs gave him the opportunity to witness larger companies abandoning effective and relevant treatments to pursue products with greater profit potential. Where these larger companies found obsolescence in small markets or low-profit yields, Dan saw reliable solutions proven to be effective and affordable.

With his wife Shirley Harmening, Dan founded a company in June of 1972 on a bridge table in his bedroom.  With the core concept of providing affordable treatment options in a niche market, his company would take root in Northport, New York.  This original location served the needs of manufacturing, administration and distribution.
