The first discovery of Dr Joos was pyridazil, an azo dyestuff derived from pyridine, which is an analgesic for the urinary tract. By 1952 Dr Joos had discovered seven new chemical compounds and developed them into new products. The company's R&D track record covers discoveries and developments in the fields of biotechnology, central nervous system, women's health, dermatology, anti-infectives and immunology. In 1959, Cilag joined the Johnson & Johnson family of companies.
In the early nineties the marketing organizations of Cilag and Janssen Pharmaceutica were joined to form Janssen-Cilag. The non-marketing activties of both companies still operate under their original name. Cilag continues to have operations under the Cilag name in Switzerland, ranging from R&D through manufacturing and international services.
