History and Development
Viatris was established in 2020 in the United States following the merger between Mylan N.V. and Upjohn, Pfizer’s division focused on established medicines.

Following its formation, the company expanded its presence in international markets, strengthened its position in biosimilars and specialty treatments, and optimized production and commercial strategies to improve competitiveness.
The post-merger period also included portfolio adjustments, divestment of non-core assets, and initiatives aimed at reducing debt and improving operational efficiency.
