“Olainfarm” buys Latvian pharmacy
business
Today during the press conference Chairman of the
Management Board of AS “Olainfarm” Mr. Valerijs Maligins announced
that AS “Olainfarm” has purchased 100% of shares in SIA “Ilmas
aptiekas” and SIA “Juko 99”. These companies combined own 18
points of pharmaceutical sales in Riga, agglomeration of Riga,
Vidzeme (north-east) and Kurzeme (west).
“This is just a beginning of Olainfarm’s operations in
pharmaceutical retail business in Latvia. Development,
production and distribution of top quality medication remain our
priority, but experience shows that distribution of medicines in
Latvia is particularly successful once you have a direct access to
customers. We think that this business is attractive enough to
continue investing in it. Our very near future plans include
expanding the pharmacy network to 30 points of sales,” said
Valerijs Maligins, Chairman of Olainfarm’s Management

“Olainfarm” the sales in 2011 of chains already purchased will be
in the area of 4 million lats (5.7 million
euro).
As a direct owner of pharmacy chain, AS “Olainfarm” will
be able to ensure that its products and products of other producers
will be available to customers for more friendly prices.
Also, the top level pharmaceutical care will be available to
clients, as very many top level professionals are working in the
pharmacy chain: 72% of all employees have respective university
degree. AS “Olainfarm” does not plan any significant
changes either to number of composition of staff.
The first pharmacy was opened by SIA “Ilmas aptieka” in
autumn of 1994 in the premises of „Veselibas Centrs 4” on Krisjana
Barona iela 115 in Riga. During the last 17 years network of
SIA “Ilmas aptieka” has increased to 17 points of sales in Riga,
