PACIFIC - THE SECOND GENERATION PHARMA PLANT
STORY IN A NUTSHELL
The establishment of Pacific Pharmaceuticals Limited is the outcome of slow and steady, unremitting and consistent evolution, spanning over a period of five decades of a once modest drug store on The Mall (now Shahrah-e-Quaid-e-Azam), Lahore, set up by Haji S.M. Ismail, father of Mr. Irfan Omer, the present Chief Executive. This evolution from retail trade to high capacity, hi-tech production came gradually over the time in small improvements carried out piecemeal. Retail sales grew into wholesale, one-shop operation gave way to a nation-wide distribution network, local sourcing climbed up to international sourcing from world research centers. Pacific Pharmaceuticals Limited is the long-term outcome of this process...
PACIFIC PLANT: OVERVIEW
PACIFIC plant is designed to live up to the ultramodern style guidelines conducive to upholding the standards of Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and WHO's recommendations. Pacific has been awarded the prestigious European Union Certification (German GMP). It stands in good stead among the pharma manufacturing facilities anywhere in the world. The plant is made up of high performance and highly sophisticated sub-units, mostly imported from Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom. The local components used are acquired on the principle that there would be no compromise on quality at any level. The entire premises is centrally air-conditioned. Environmental control is so meticulously attended to that the raw materials and the end products are also kept at the most suitable temperature so as to ensure maximum stability and efficacy. The Italian-based Technical Centre of Marion Merrell Dow, the innovative research-based multinational, contributed valuable technical guidelines towards its design..
