What Farmacia Tei does

Farmacia Tei (legal entity S.C. Farmacia Tei S.R.L.) is a privately held Romanian pharmacy retailer operating since 1992, headquartered in Bucharest with a workforce of 501-1000 employees. The company runs a dual online and physical pharmacy model: an e-commerce platform at comenzi.farmaciatei.ro authorized by the Romanian Ministry of Health (Authorization No. 989/11.07.2022) and a network of 13 physical pharmacy locations spread across Bucharest, Constanta, Brasov, Craiova, Ploiesti, Pitesti, and Popesti-Leordeni. Itself-describes as the leader in Romania's online pharmacy market.

The product portfolio is organized across an integrated catalog spanning OTC medications (across 14 therapeutic categories), prescription medications, vitamins and supplements, dermato-cosmetics, Korean and premium cosmetics, personal care, diet and wellness, sexual health, medical devices, and veterinary products. The platform surfaces these through specialized sub-brand storefronts (SPF Shop, Make-up Shop, Dermato Shop, K-Beauty Shop, Animal Shop, Athletes Shop, Gifts Shop). An on-site compounding laboratory ('Laborator Propriu') produces custom formulations and own-brand products, providing a degree of vertical integration in the formulation layer.

The business operates a direct-to-consumer retail model with unit pricing, individual transactions, and no subscription or membership tier. Delivery is fulfilled through home delivery and parcel lockers (Pachetomat), supplemented by click-and-collect at physical locations. Revenue is generated through one-time retail sales across both online and physical channels. The customer base spans four broad personas: general healthcare consumers, beauty and skincare enthusiasts, pet owners, and health and wellness-focused consumers, with no enterprise or B2B contracts disclosed. Operational integrations include payment processing (Plati Online) and regulatory authorizations covering CNAS medical device reimbursement, ANMDM licensing, ANPC consumer protection, and ANSVSA veterinary oversight.
