PIEX MEETS A REAL NEED: IMPROVING ACCESS TO HEALTH AND WELLNESS PRODUCTS IN AFRICA
Founded in 1979 by Robert Jamain, Pharmaceutique d’Import Export – PIEX – was acquired in July 2017 as part of a project led by Bertrand Talbotier and supported by a group of investors led by LBO France. PIEX has since expanded very rapidly through organic growth and an initial external growth with the acquisition of PharmaCDI, also a distribution player in West Africa.
In 2023, the acquiring of Apexfarma and its subsidiary Cross Pharm will strengthen PIEX Group’s value chain in the implementation of synergies between the historical distribution activity and turnkey export services.
