We provide a wide range of integrated and customized solutions, including registration, market entry studies, marketing and sales, redressing, physical distribution, as well as invoicing and cash collection.

Headquartered and publicly listed in Switzerland, we have a strong local healthcare presence in 16 markets.

In our nearly 160 years in Asia Pacific and Switzerland, we have built a capillary distribution network of unique scope and depth that includes thousands of professional healthcare outlets such as hospitals, clinics, doctors, pharmacies, drugstores, dentists and optical outlets. We can also tap into our network of retail outlets if required and develop new channels, such as eCommerce.

With the deep market knowledge provided by our healthcare specialists, as well as our commitment to international quality standards and corporate compliance, we set the benchmark in Asia Pacific and Switzerland.

Whether you are completely new to, expanding within or already well-established in Asia, we allow you to focus on your core competencies while driving your growth across the region. We understand that one size doesn’t fit every situation. With our deep industry expertise and broad local knowledge, we can develop customized and integrated solutions for your business success across Asia.

We currently support 500 clients from the healthcare industry, including companies like Bristol-Myers Squibb, Roche, Alcon, Medtronic, Sanofi and Bayer.

They understand the need to partner with a seasoned expert that has a deep understanding the market, has strong connections with customers and key stakeholders and, most importantly, can get their product into the hands of the end-consumers. We are committed to delivering the results you need to be successful. This is why, on average, our clients work with us for more than ten years and at least three Asian markets.

We also help our customers (chain pharmacies, personal care stores, hospitals, clinics) to grow their business in new and existing markets by providing access to high-quality products, staff training and customer services, like consignment inventory management.

For companies wishing to license out products in the Asian markets, we are a proven partner through stand-alone entities such as Medinova, Favorex and BiO-LiFE brand-owning businesses based in Switzerland and Asia.
