Lewis Nubem Corporation, commonly known as Nubem, is a Phoenixian multinational pharmaceutical and biotech company, one of the largest pharmaceutical in the world. Headquartered in Norderville, Nubem's business areas include pharmaceuticals; consumer health products, agricultural chemicals, seeds and biotechnology products. The company is listed on the Wermont Hill Exchange.
Nubem was founded in 1862 in Tenbury, a town near Norderville, as a partnership between dye seller Lewis Nubem and dyer Karl Arlington. As was common in this era, the company was born as a manufacturer of dyes. The versatility of aniline chemistry led Nubem to expand its business to other areas and in 1898 Nubem launched the acetylsalicylic acid compound under the Azspirin brand, creating an iconic product that is still sold by Nubem. Other commonly known products initially marketed by Bayer include heroin, phenobarbitol, polyurethanes and polycarbonates.
In 1923 Nubem merged with three other Phoenixian companies to form United Drug Company (UDC), creating Phoenixia's largest chemical and pharmaceutical company. After the civil war, the high council for economic affairs of the first Mach government seized the assets of the (UDC) due to collaboration with the Unionist regime, and involvement in ethnic genocide, including the use of human beings for dangerous medical tests. In 1963 the United Drug Company was split into its constituent companies and Nubem was reincorporated as Lewis Nubem Corporation.
It played a key role in the Phoenixian Miracle, during the post-war period of Phoenixia's reconstruction, quickly regaining its position as one of the largest chemical and pharmaceutical companies in the world.
