STRATEGIC OVERVIEW
SABAH
Pharmex Sdn. Bhd. is one of the pioneers in the pharmaceutical industry in Sabah. There are other wholesalers such as F.E. Zuellig and Diethelm but their local distribution network is not as widely established as ours. We have good rapport with all our customers due to our reputable business ethics and flexibilities. We are confident to state that at present, we are the only local distributor dominating the distribution of pharmaceutical products in Sabah.
SARAWAK
Pharmex Pharma Sdn. Bhd. was established in Kuching, Sarawak, in the year 2000. Most other local wholesalers are only distributing within a city or town. They do not possess a complete distribution network such as ours. We may be young in Sarawak, but our manager, Mr. Liew Jing Ting, is innovative and very much committed to the company.
WEST MALAYSIA
Allied Pharmacy Sdn. Bhd. was establish in Kuala Lumpur in 1995. Most distributors/ importers/ manufacturers located in West Malaysia (WM) are only able to market their products in WM. This is mainly because it requires substantial investment to set up offices and warehouses in Sabah and Sarawak. Since Pharmex Group originated from Sabah and already have warehouses located in East and West Malaysia, we are able to provide a total coverage in Malaysia. For local importers who are not interested in having their own offices or warehouses, Pharmex Group will provide them with a solution. For local manufacturers who are not interested in the marketing of their own products, we are able to assist as well. With us, we go directly to the retailers covering the whole of Malaysia, hence eliminating the third party, keeping your prices low and more competitive.
