According to the concern development plans, the Management of “Grindeks” reviews ointment manufacturing and sales perspectives. Corresponding to the market research in the main target markets of “Grindeks”, the company forecasts that the demand of “Grindeks” ointments can double. At the moment the daughter company of “Grindeks” in Estonia – “Tallinn Pharmaceutical Plant” is specializing in the ointment manufacturing.

At the moment “Grindeks” evaluates financial aspects of the project and the establishment possibilities of the plant in Estonia or Latvia. Chairman of the Council of JSC „Grindeks” Kirovs Lipmans emphasizes: “The ointments are one of the target directions with the development possibilities. Therefore we are thinking about options to develop a new ointment plant. Initially planned costs of the project were 4 million euros. Sadly, in the background of the financial and economical crises, the project costs in Estonia have doubled and we are forced to suspend the project and to reevaluate the ointment manufacturing business development aspects for the future.” During the financial and economical crises throughout the world “Grindeks” also considers all possibilities to optimize business costs. “To maintain the ointment plant in the center of Tallinn, Tondi street 33, is cost-wise expensive and ineffective for commercial activities.
