Crida Pharm

What Crida Pharm does

Crida Pharm S.R.L. is a Romanian privately-held veterinary pharmaceutical manufacturer founded in 1997 and headquartered in Bucharest, with an EU-GMP-certified and ISO 9001:2015-compliant production facility in Oltenița, Călărași county. The company's core business is the development, manufacture, and sale of veterinary medicines and nutritional supplements covering antibiotics and sulfonamides, chemotherapeutics, antiparasitics, vitamins and minerals, and a ten-SKU companion-animal supplement line addressing joint, hepatic, renal, immune, gastric, dermatological, ocular, anemia, and bone-health indications. Differentiated formulations incorporate branded ingredients such as Fortigel collagen peptides, Siliphos/SAMe, Boswellia serrata, and Astaxanthin, developed through a continuous in-house R&D function.

Crida Pharm operates a dual B2B and B2C go-to-market model centered on its own E-Shop platform (e-shop.cridapharm.ro). Prescription veterinary medicines are gated behind an Authorized Economic Operator verification system requiring fiscal registration certificates and veterinary sanitary operating authorizations, serving veterinary clinics, pharmacies, and distributors in Romania. The B2C channel addresses pet owners (dogs and cats) seeking over-the-counter companion-animal supplements. The sales team is exclusively staffed by veterinarians with prior production experience, providing technical consultation across five Romanian regional sales territories plus a dedicated Cabinet & Pharmacies channel. Recent commercial expansion includes distribution partnerships in Hungary (DRPG Kft) and the Republic of Moldova.

Revenue is generated through direct unit-pricing sales across product categories, with prices displayed including 9% VAT and delivery handled via partner couriers. The company reports 50+ employees, 5,000+ customers served, and a portfolio of 100+ medicines and supplements. Strategic positioning emphasizes European regulatory compliance, 24/7 technical support, and ongoing investment in modern production equipment — most recently a new tablet production line. No external institutional investment, acquisition, or divestiture activity is disclosed.
