HISTORY
Beginning
In 1990, Mykola Gumeniuk founds small business "Medical Center "M.T.K.":
"When the first sprouts of entrepreneurship appeared in the country, we, young scientists at that time, funded a small company, started with research work and provided diagnostic and therapeutic services for businesses. A short time later, in the early 90s, we set up a retail pharmacy business; and later the wholesale and contract manufacturing of drugs began at several manufacturing sites." М. Gumeniuk.
"In 1998, we continue our activities as a manufacturing company, YURiA-PHARM LLC, with a production site in Cherkasy. At that time, the focus was on the production of infusion solutions". М. Gumeniuk.
The company's new team initiate a set of measures aimed at expanding the product range and increasing production capacity.
This results in the development of the market of industrially produced infusion drugs in Ukraine, as solutions were predominantly made ex tempore in hospital pharmacies, which did not comply with internationally accepted standards.
The year 2000 marks the start of commercial production of Rheosorbilact® – a drug which for many years was YURiA-PHARM’s most recognised product.
Confidence grows in the products of YURiA-PHARM: in 2003, over 2,000,000 bottles are sold in Ukraine. Due to the automation of production, productivity significantly increases.
We start to export to CIS countries, such as Uzbekistan, Georgia, Russia, and Moldova.
The first Strategic Session is held, setting the company's direction for the next 5 years. We create our own distribution service to bring us closer to our customers. Everyday, thousands of tons of vital products begin to be sent to customers across Ukraine.
We are awarded the Certificate of Conformity to the ISO 9001-2001 international quality management standards.
