About us
Medex was founded in June 2004 as a business project initiated by three physicians—specialists in pharmaceutical marketing—and a private investor. In October the company obtained its license for wholesale trade in medicinal products and began commercial operations in December 2004, focusing on participation in centralized tenders for the supply of medicinal products to the Ministry of Health, as well as in procurement procedures of healthcare institutions across the country.
The company’s efforts are directed toward expanding its portfolio by offering and distributing high-quality products from leading manufacturers that do not compete directly with one another. Our client base includes all major and financially stable hospitals in the country, as well as the Ministry of Health as a central purchaser of certain pharmaceutical products.
Currently, the company employs more than 60 professionals. The sales and promotional teams consist of highly qualified specialists—physicians and pharmacists—with extensive experience in pharmaceutical marketing. The company has established a reputation as a loyal partner and a true driving force behind the market presence of the products it represents.
Expertise
The company’s expertise is primarily focused on tender activities, logistics, and the distribution of medicinal products. The high requirements set by the authorities regulating tender procedures, as well as by healthcare institutions, necessitate a substantial level of competence regarding the pharmaceutical market and the competitive environment. The successful development of the company serves as evidence of the professionalism of our management and the dedication of our highly committed specialists.
Competencies
The company’s core competencies are primarily related to public procurement procedures — both hospital and state. The company owes its leading position to its strong customer-service orientation and its substantial efforts in key account management.
