The 1920s: the age of energy and euphoria. The decade opens with Einstein receiving the Nobel Prize and closes with the discovery of penicillin.

The tragedy of the Great War is finally over and progress is now synonymous with industrial expansion.

In Milan, in 1921, the company which one day would be called Indena and revolutionize the processing of medicinal plants extracts, built its very first factory.

1921: it was the year a company was created that would first become Inverni Della Beffa and then Indena.

The decades to follow would witness wartime, economic crises, scientific discoveries, space conquests and breath-taking technological development.

One century on – surely the century which has witnessed the most overwhelming shifts in the history of humanity – Indena continues to thrive with the same energy and momentum.
