Julphar Gulf Pharmaceutical Industries is the largest generic pharmaceutical manufacturer in the Middle East and North Africa and distributes medicines to over 40 countries. Established in 1980 in the United Arab Emirates under the guidance of His Highness Sheikh Saqr Bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Julphar's first stand-alone facility produced only five products. Over three decades later, we operate sixteen internationally certified manufacturing facilities globally, produce over a million boxes of medicines daily and hold 4,074 product registration certificates.
Thirteen of our facilities are based in the UAE and cover production areas including tablets, syrups, and suspensions. Julphar, being the top pharmaceutical company, has also launched manufacturing facilities in Ethiopia, Bangladesh and Saudi Arabia as part of its ongoing international expansion strategy.
In 2012 Julphar launched a 150 million-dollar Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) manufacturing facility – Julphar Diabetes – entirely dedicated to producing raw material needed for insulin formulation. Julphar Diabetes has the capacity to produce 1,500 kg of recombinant human insulin and insulin analogues crystals (rDNA), equivalent to 40 million vials of insulin per year. This positions Julphar among the largest manufacturers of insulin in the world, and the only one of its kind in the Middle East.
Julphar maintains a diverse product portfolio which targets major therapeutic segments. It includes the following categories: Wound, Anemia and Women Care, Adult Primary Care, Pediatric Primary Care, Gastro Care and Pain Management, Cardiopulmonary Care, and Consumer Care.
