Admin History: CIBA was a multi-national group of chemical companies headquartered in Basle, Switzerland. Founded in 1859, the firm was officially incorporated in 1884 as the 'Society for Chemical Industry in Basle'. The company became known as CIBA Limited in 1945. In England (as of 1964) the manufacturing and sales companies were grouped under a holding company, CIBA United Kingdom Ltd. The latter company had several subsidiaries including CIBA Laboratories Ltd. CIBA was involved in the manufacture of plastics, pesticides and veterinary medicine and also undertook research into rare metals.
JWT London acquired the CIBA account in September 1964.
