PHARMAKINA

PHARMAKINA was founded in 1961, then owned and operated by Boehringer Mannheim, Germany, and later by Roche, Switzerland. In 1999, it was bought out by management, today's PHARMAKINA executives. PHARMAKINA has managed to continue its activities over the past decades due to solid business practices, sustainable use of high demand resources, and assuming its responsibility to the local community as the largest private employer in Bukavu. PHARMAKINA evolved from a supplier of raw material to the former European based mother companies into an integrated full supply chain manufacturer. PHARMAKINA is the only pharmaceutical enterprise in Africa that produces quinine medicinal products to the shelf from natural resources and with full-fledged manufacturing facilities.
