Founded in 2003 and headquartered in Singapore, the company conducts its primary operations in the People's Republic of China, operating manufacturing and distribution facilities principally through its key operating subsidiaries, including Chengdu Kinna Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. Pharmesis International operates through distinct business segments: Western Pharmaceuticals, which encompasses the research, production, and marketing of chemical drugs, including anti-inflammatory, respiratory, gastrointestinal, and cardiovascular therapeutic medications; Traditional Chinese Medicine, which focuses on the formulation and manufacture of proprietary herbal medicines, botanical health products, extracts, tablets, granules, and capsules; Distribution and Agency Services, which manages the wholesale distribution, supply chain management, and retail delivery of third-party pharmaceuticals, over-the-counter medicines, and healthcare consumables across hospitals, medical clinics, and pharmacy networks; and Contract Manufacturing Services, providing original equipment manufacturing (OEM) and custom pharmaceutical formulation services in compliance with Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) quality standards. In recent developments, the company has undertaken strategic operational and commercial adjustments to navigate China's National Centralized Volume-Based Procurement (VBP) policy, shifting its commercial focus toward expanding its proprietary over-the-counter (OTC) healthcare lines, wellness formulations, and dietary health supplements. Additionally, the group has modernized its GMP-certified production infrastructure in Sichuan Province to enhance operating efficiencies, optimized its direct distribution networks through strengthened regional distributor alliances, and introduced new health product formulations tailored to consumer wellness and preventive healthcare demand.
