History
A few years before it launched a successful business, the company’s story began with the enthusiasm and research passion of several scientists from the University of Chemical Technology and Metallurgy (UCTM) in Sofia, who developed technologies in the field of inorganic synthesis. In the early 1990s, such innovations found widespread practical application in promising areas of business, and so in a few years this turned their inventors into owners of capital, which they subsequently invested, each in their own way.
The beginning
One of them did not hesitate to put all his personal and capital resources into creating a small pharmaceutical company. In a modest manufacturing plant in a metropolitan neighborhood, with only a dozen of employees, he started producing a few basic products – alcohol, rivanol, and oxygenated water. This was the beginning of CHEMAX PHARMA. Over the next few decades, thanks to his consistency and entrepreneurial spirit, its founder, Assoc. Prof. Dimitar Sulev slowly but surely placed it among the leading companies on the Bulgarian pharmaceutical market with a modernly equipped own production base, annual revenue growth and innovative additions to the portfolio.
1993
Today
Today, Chemax Pharma manufactures and markets over 130 different pharmaceutical products, with operations in the country and in over 9 foreign markets. And although it is driven towards the dynamics of the new century, the company still keeps the values on which it was built and upholds the trust of its partners and employees: correctness, loyalty and professionalism.
