Pahang Pharmacy

What Pahang Pharmacy does

Pahang Pharmacy Sdn Bhd (PPSB) is a Malaysian pharmaceutical and healthcare products distributor and manufacturer, founded in 1971 and headquartered in Klang, Selangor. The company operates across five business lines: generic ethical pharmaceutical distribution and wholesale, GMP-certified manufacturing of health supplements and pharmaceuticals (human and animal), retail pharmacy operations across the East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia, and veterinary pharmaceuticals. It serves more than 7,500 B2B customers nationwide, including major pharmacy chains (Guardian, Watsons, Caring, AA, BIG, Alpro, Health Lane, Sunway Multicare), private hospital groups (KPJ, Sunway Medical, Columbia Asia, Pantai, Prince Court, Thomson, Beacon), government hospitals, and over 5,000 clinics, supported by four warehouses in Klang, Kuantan, Kota Kinabalu and Kuching.

The core technical platform is a GMP-certified manufacturing facility approved by the Ministry of Health Malaysia, with ISO 9001:2015 (UKAS-accredited) and GDPMD certifications, enabling in-house production of both the company's own Live-well range of dietary supplements (launched 2004, using patented ingredients supplied by USA-based Tishcon Corp.) and contract/toll manufacturing for third parties. Distribution is supported by warehouse and logistics operations compliant with GMP and GDP standards across Peninsular and East Malaysia, enabling daily nationwide supply of thousands of products.

Revenue is generated primarily through B2B transaction-fee-based pharmaceutical distribution and wholesale, one-time/contract manufacturing of health supplements, retail pharmacy point-of-sale sales, and veterinary product distribution. The go-to-market is sales-led, executed through a field sales force providing coverage of the medical and pharmacy sector nationwide. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company has 500+ employees and remains privately held, with no disclosed funding rounds or institutional ownership.
