History[edit]
Founded in 1919 as a maker of digitalis drugs,[4] Upsher-Smith has traditionally focused on the manufacture of generic medications. In 2017, after owning and operating Upsher-Smith for 47 years, the Evenstad family made the decision to sell the largest part of their company, the generics business, to Sawai Group Holdings Co., Ltd. , a large publicly traded generics company in Japan that had been seeking entry into the U.S. market.[5]
Upsher-Smith's non-generic pharmaceuticals businesses, Proximagen, Pairnomix, and MOBĒ, remained with ACOVA, a holding company owned by the Evenstads.
