An Afro-focus pharmaceutical company, Shalina Healthcare, West Africa, has applauded its major distributors for being the driving force behind its success stories in the last one year.
Its Chief Commercial Officer, Arun Raj, said this on Monday at a meeting with its business partners and major distributors.
The forum, with the theme: “Driving Growth through Strong Business Partnerships,” was held in Lagos to mark the end of the company’s financial year.
Raj said the company had become one of the fastest-growing pharmaceutical companies in Africa through the efforts of its business partners.
He said: “Though the last one year has been one of the most difficult for business in recent times, we were able to weather the storm through the support and resilience of our major distributors.
“The last one year has shown to be a very difficult time, especially for the industry with a leading brand of about 60 years in Nigeria, but we are assuring everyone that despite all economic issues, Shalina continues to believe in Nigeria.
“We are committed to providing available and affordable quality health products.
“It will interest many people that in the last financial year, the company had a 19 percent volume growth.
“Though it may be below our expectation but considering the economic realities of the last one year, it is a good development.”
The company’s Managing Director, Opeyemi Akinyele, said the event was to refresh, appraise and evaluate the last financial year to enable it to forge ahead and make more impacts.
Akinyele said: “The last one year has been the survival of the fittest in the business world, but here we are today with successful stories.”
