While Apotex is at the forefront of drug-related research, we’re also leading the way in finding superior methods of manufacturing, testing, packaging and distribution of quality medicines.  We produce and distribute medicine and healthcare products, using state of the art facilities that are among the best in the world.

Our products are distributed in more than 115 countries.  In some countries, we’ve become the largest pharmaceutical supplier.  Maintaining the efficient movement of more than 260 generic pharmaceutical products in more than 4000 strengths and dosages is a challenge requiring hi-tech manufacturing and distribution systems.  The production process and techniques that we have developed are leading edge.  These range from equipment designs to manufacturing and packaging techniques, as well as testing procedures aimed at reducing the overall cost of drug delivery to the patient.

Each one of our medicines must be tested continually to meet internal quality goals, as well as government regulations.  Each formulation has a particular stability profile, and Apotex manufacturing chemists must know and track the characteristics of each product.   Thousands of drug batches are routinely tracked and tested in an ongoing stability assurance program.

Apotex has recently expanded its facilities, and now relies on new, state of the art installations that allow us to manufacture and package medicines in Canada, Mexico and in other parts of the world, helping to satisfy the global demand for affordable quality medicines.  The Apotex name is found on products ranging from prescribed medicine to vitamins used every day in thousands of hospitals and clinics around the world.

Our objective is simple.  We are committed to being one of the world’s leading suppliers of quality and affordable medicines, that have been researched, developed, and manufactured in Canada, Mexico and other parts of the world.  The focus in healthcare has taken Apotex to every corner of the world, with the objective of expanding our exports.  This global expansion has allowed Apotex to have a significant impact in the lives of millions of people, many of whom would have suffered otherwise, due to the inadequate availability of essential medication.  We are a Canadian pharmaceutical company, considered of the best in the world that satisfies the necessities of humanity.

We believe in a strong partnership with every member of the medical pharmaceutical community and health system, and we demonstrate our support through our services, education, and research.  Our objective is to raise the visibility of doctors and pharmacists in their own community.  For that purpose, Apotex allocates millions of dollars each year in continuing education programs for doctors and pharmacists.   These very unique programs include conferences, seminars, publications, as well as financial support of research projects.

Apotex relies on highly skilled employees to successfully carry out its operations.   For this purpose, we offer an extensive continuing education program for all of our employees, which is a model for the global pharmaceutical industry.

We are proud to state that our goal is to help our employees become the very best in the pharmaceutical industry.

Apotex believes that a strong and innovative pharmaceutical company is vital for health in all parts of the world.  Not all companies think the way we do; but then again, we’re not just another pharmaceutical company.  We are Canada’s pharmaceutical company.
