Pewlett Quayle is a Delamarian pharmaceutical and health technology company, headquartered in Labrador. PQ is one of the wurld's largest producers of pharmecuticals such as penicillin, paracetomol as well as vaccines. It is also the wurlds largest producer of MRI machines and Ultrasound machines.
The company was founded in 1872 by immigrants Dr. John Egan Pewlett and Dr. Gerhardt Quayle in Labrador. The business initially took the form of a local chemist and a small manufactory. During the Flu of 1881 demand for medication exploded, and Pewlett and Quayle were the only in Labrador with the equipment to keep up with demand. During the outbreak PQ took advantage of the situation and their constant income streams to buy out its rivals in the south east and following the epidemic they were the largest pharmaceutical manufacturer in Delamaria, dominating the industry despite only possesing a few storefronts and two manufactories only a few years prior.
In the early 20th century PQ expanded its reach, from only producing medication to being at the forefront of medical innovation and invention. PQ were some of the first to produce 'iron lungs' for polio victims. PQ also funded scientific research into bacteria and viruses, and in 1931 held the patent for penacillin, however they would lose it under the McMadden administration. PQ were also one of the first to create viable vaccines for polio, smallpox and meningitis. In 1951 to assist with greater demand for food during the First Argic War, PQ established its agricultural innovation division, where it partnered with Conover to produce fertilizers and later genetically modified foods to boost agricultural production.
