Zeltia is a former Spanish pharmaceutical company which operated through a variety of subsidiaries in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries. As of 2007, Zeltia's research activities in the pharmaceutical area had not resulted in a marketed product.

==History== Zeltia is a group of chemical and pharmaceutical companies founded in Vigo in 1939 as a spin-off of the Miguel Servet laboratory. Its driving force was the Fernández López brothers from Lugo. Initially, the company was supported by the scientific contributions of Fernando Calvet Prats, who came from the University of Santiago and had been repressed by the Franco regime at the end of the Civil War. Calvet contributed his technical knowledge to the company until he was reinstated at the University of Salamanca in the 1944-45 academic year.
