This drugstore was to be the forerunner of Unilab. As small as it
was, the drugstore had a mission: to provide quality medicines at
prices within reach of as many people as possible in the community.
Postwar conditions no doubt had a hand in molding this mission. In
the minds of the founders, it would have been unreasonable and coarse
to sell medicines at prices determined by pure business objectives
alone to sick people whose livelihood had been lost in the war. Conditions
may have changed and improved over the years; but the mission is unchanged.
The founders and their successors believe that the mission is as valid
and true as when first it was given expression.
A few years after its quiet start, the drugstore had quickly developed
into a pharmaceutical company, with a simple manufacturing setup
and a modest marketing force to promote and sell high quality and
affordable medicines. This was to be a major step in realizing the
founders' vision of transforming the drugstore into a significant
and leading provider of pharmaceuticals.
By the end of the fifties in the last century, Unilab had become
the top pharmaceutical company in the Philippines, an astounding
feat in an industry in which, then as now, big multinationals are
active. At about same time, its presence in Southeast Asia had begun
to take shape, with the creation of marketing and manufacturing
tie-ups in the major countries in the region. These tie-ups have
proved to be durable as they exist up to this day as important parts
of Unilab’s vast regional network.
Through the years, Unilab has been able to solidify its position
of leadership not only in the Philippines but in Southeast Asia
as well. Today Unilab has a strong leading presence in the region
as a major provider of healthcare goods and services in several
countries – Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Hong
Kong and Vietnam, among others. |
