ZENITH PHARMACEUTICAL DISTRIBUTORS
Cape Town, South Africa
In 1991 Mr Mehboob Adam, a successful owner of 5 pharmacies, identified an opportunity in the wholesale pharmaceutical industry, created by the differential pricing structures of manufacturers.It was not long before Mr Adam found himself negotiating deals on bulk purchases from manufacturers, and then passing these price advantages on to his and a few friends' pharmacies. As demand from other pharmacies increased, Mr Adam found himself more and more involved in the wholesaling side of pharmacy, and in 1992 Kassbell Pharmaceuticals was formed with the name subsequently changing to Zenith Pharmaceutical Distributors in 1998.During July 2015 Iszipharm, a 100% black owned company, bought over the entire shares of Zenith Pharmaceutical Distributors. Zenith is now wholly owned by Iszipharm with Mr E Bhorat, Mr I Bhorat and Ms Z Hendricks as its shareholders and directors.
