In June 2008, Ranbaxy entered into an alliance with one of the largest Japanese innovator companies, Daiichi Sankyo Company Ltd., to create an innovator and generic pharmaceutical powerhouse. The combined entity now ranks among the top 20 pharmaceutical companies, globally. The transformational deal will place Ranbaxy in a higher growth trajectory and it will emerge stronger in terms of its global reach and in its capabilities in drug development and manufacturing.
Ranbaxy’s mission is ‘To become a Research-based International Pharmaceutical Company’. The Company is driven by its vision to ‘Achieve significant business in proprietary prescription products by 2012 with a strong presence in developed markets’.
Recognized as a leading manufacturer, Ranbaxy Malaysia was set up as a wholly owned subsidiary in June 1984.
With its excellent sales and marketing team, who are experienced and well versed with the industry, the company today has strong brand recognition amongst the General Practitioners, Government Hospitals and Retail Pharmacy sector.

Ranbaxy’s diverse product basket of over 5,000 SKUs available in over 125 countries worldwide, encompasses a wide therapeutic mix covering a majority of the chronic and acute segments. Healthcare trends project that the chronic treatment segments will outpace the acute treatment segments, primarily driven by a growing aging population and dominance of lifestyle diseases. Our robust performance in Cardiovasculars, Central Nervous System, Respiratory, Dermatology, Orthopedics, Nutritionals and Urology segments, clearly indicates that the Company has strengthened its presence in the fast-growing chronic and lifestyle disease segments.
