About

Fredrik Steen was a Norwegian pharmacist and businessperson. He was a son of Emil Steen and Laura Steen. He was a grandson of Emil Steen, a nephew of Johan and Christian Steen and a first cousin of Erling Steen. Several family members were owners of Steen & Strøm, but Fredrik Steen's father had become a partner in the pharmaceutical wholesaling company Nyegaard & Co. His father was the sole owner of this company from 1913, and transformed it from a wholesaling company to a manufacturer of pharmaceutical products. However, he died in 1915. Fredrik's mother Laura ran the company until 1921, when Fredrik took over. He orchestrated a merger with Koren & Gedde and brought that company's owner Sverre Blix on board as co-owner. Fredrik Steen had taken the cand.pharm. degree in 1916, and been an assistant at the Royal Frederick University. Read more
