Interview with Gabor Somlyai, Managing Director, HYD LLC.
You founded HYD almost 20 years ago, in 1992. Can you first explain to our readers why you made the switch from doing research at the Hungarian Institute of Oncology…
Meditop Pharmaceutical Ltd. was founded in 1991; we were the first of the newly-formed pharmaceutical businesses to obtain a pharmaceutical manufacturing licence after the fall of the communist regime.
Our goal is to strengthen our position on the Hungarian and international markets in a sustained way through the marketing of products we have developed ourselves and produced to the highest professional standards, while at the same time preserving and increasing our competitiveness. Alongside gaining the trust of our clients, we also put great emphasis on respecting legal and official prescriptions and an ethical approach to business in all our activities.
Our company has registered 13 pharmaceutical patents since its founding; we continue research and development apace in collaboration with numerous Hungarian research institutes and clinics.
