H. Lundbeck A/s
A Danish pharmaceutical company that focuses entirely on brain health, making treatments for conditions like depression, schizophrenia, and other central nervous system disorders—most famously the antidepressant escitalopram, sold as Lexapro in the US and Cipralex elsewhere. Founded in 1915 by Hans Lundbeck (whose surname means "lime grove stream"), the firm began as a Copenhagen trading house dealing in machinery, aluminium foil, and cosmetics before pivoting to medicines in the mid-20th century.
