The story

Founded by Lewy Pattinson in 1903, in Sydney.1

In 1872, Caleb Soul and his son Washington Handley opened a pharmacy store in Pitt Street, Sydney. In 1886, Lewy Pattinson opened a pharmacy in Balmain. In April 1902, Pattinson bought Soul out with the business incorporated as Washington H Soul Pattinson & Company Limited.

On 21 January 1903, the company was listed on the Sydney Stock Exchange.

In June 2021, terms were agreed to purchase Milton Corporation.

In June 2025, Soul Patts and Brickworks, that already held a 26% stake in Soul Patts, agreed to a $14 billion merger. The deal is subject to shareholder approval. Upon completion of the acquisition in September, Soul Patts owns 72% of the merged entity.
