| In 1915 George Nicholas started synthesizing acetylsalicylic acid or 'Aspirin' from a makeshift laboratory in his pharmacy. Later he, together with Monsanto UK, started a separate manufacturing company for salicylates called Monsanto Southern Cross. His businesses continued to expand and were incorporated into Nicholas Australia Ltd. This company was floated in 1968 in order to purchase Nicholas Pty Ltd. The company changed its name in 1970, becoming Nicholas International Ltd, to reflect the international nature of the company. In 1981 it again changed its name, this time to name changed to Nicholas Kiwi Australasia Limited. |
