Egypt Otsuka was established in 10th of Ramadan City in 1992 aiming to supply Otsuka’s pharmaceutical products in the Egyptian market and succeeded to the business of Arab Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co., S.A.E. established in the Public Free Zone (special tax free zone for export) in Cairo in 1977. Since then, Egypt Otsuka has been engaged in manufacturing and distributing intravenous infusions and therapeutic drugs in Egypt and neighbouring countries in the Middle East as well as in Africa. Along with growing demands for intravenous infusion products in those markets, Egypt Otsuka’s production capacity has nearly reached a maximum level and its expansion has been an immediate task to meet the growing demand.
In June of 2014, acquired 80% of Ateco Pharma Egypt, an Egyptian intravenous infusion manufacturing company and has a large domestic market share. This acquisition enabled Egypt Otsuka to expand its annual production capacity of intravenous infusions by approximately 50% in volume and sufficiently meet the increasing demands in the market. Ateco Pharma Egypt was renamed as “Otsuka Ateco Pharma Egypt” following the acquisition.
