İnsan sağlığını her zaman ön planda tutarak büyüyen Kurtsan Şirketler grubunun temelleri 1955 yılında genç bir eczacı tarafından İstanbul’da açılan Güneş Eczanesi'nde atıldı. Henüz “doğal yaşam” ve “alternatif tıp” gibi kavramların yaygın olmadığı 1950'lerde Eczacı Niyazi Kurtsan, bitkilerden ilaçlar ve sağlıklı ürünler geliştirmeyi kendine misyon edinmiş başarılı bir girişimciydi. Aynı zamanda da yaratıcı ve üretken bir bilim adamı… Bugün Kurtsan şirketler grubunun bünyesinde; Dermatoloji ve soğuk algınlığı ilaçları alanında uzmanlaşmış, KURTSAN İLAÇLARI A.Ş., Tıbbi flasterler, yara bantları ve hastane malzemeleri üreterek dağıtımını yapan, KURTSAN MEDİKAL SANAYİ VE TİCARET A.Ş., Bitkisel saç ve cilt bakım ürünlerde Türkiye’nin markası, OTACI BİTKİSEL ÜRÜNLER SANAYİ VE TİCARET A.Ş. bulunuyor. // A young entrepreneur and a revolutionary scientist, Niyazi Kurtsan, planted the seeds of 'Kurtsan' at a compact pharmacy in Istanbul in 1955 with the vision of healing people through the power of nature.
