ABOUT US

HISTORY

Uni-Pharma Philippines, Inc. (UPPI) was established in 2012 by a group of leaders from Wyeth and Abbott who shared a common vision of providing healthcare solutions that are of premium quality, affordably priced, and accessible to the majority.

Our company, our products, and our manufacturers are in complete recognition of, and compliance with the policies of these highly esteemed organizations –

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

NOEL LITERAL FORTIN

President and Chairman
of the Board

ALEXANDER S. DUENAS

VP for Finance

RUSSELL C. LUNA

VP for Supply Chain and Business Development

ELMER C. OPINA

Sales Director

The members of the Board bring with them more than five (5) decades of accumulated years of experience in pharmaceutical sales and marketing, which has rendered them experts in the industry.

With their wealth of knowledge, familiarity, and involvement in this field coming from multinational pharmaceutical companies themselves, reinforced by their strong entrepreneurial capabilities, strategic vision, and a heart inclined towards their employees’ welfare, they were able to lead the team towards a steady growth of business year after year. This would not have been possible without the positive reinforcement approach of UPPI’s leaders towards its employees. For them, it is as much about compassion as it is about business.

2018 was the year when UPPI decided to expand its management team, starting with an Office Manager to oversee administrative operations. This was followed by an opportunity to develop key provincial areas in Visayas and Mindanao regions hence, a new District Manager in 2020. After a noteworthy growth in the same year, doors were opened in 2021 for managing core products (Product Manager) and leading the North Luzon team (District Manager) to reach out to more health care providers. The management team of Uni-Pharma Phils., Inc. is expected to help propel business growth in subsequent years given each individual’s relevant and rich experience in their fields of expertise.

Expansion of geographic borders and distribution channels

UPPI NATIONWIDE BUSINESS OPERATION

From a small customer base when we started, we relentlessly worked on having our company accredited in major private and government hospitals in Metro Manila. Having seized the opportunity to expand into other important cities and provinces outside of NCR, we appointed and authorized well-established, capable and competent distributors to handle our operations in their locales. Today, we are already well-represented across the country.

Likewise, we have partnered with a major distributor that enabled placement of some core products in the country’s largest chain drugstore. This is pivotal in further making our products accessible to the most number of people.

Retention and attraction of talents

The company places premium importance in people as a key growth driver. We train, develop and empower our people, particularly our Territory Managers, to act like real businessmen. Thus, it is of no surprise that we have almost zero turnover of employees since we started, owing to their high levels of motivation and dedication to the company.

Passion is the Heartbeat of our Service

Economic Benefits for our People

The message was clear when we started: create the wealth together, then share the wealth with everyone. Today we have an unprecedented incentive package that is unmatched in the industry, high salary scales, car plan scheme, health insurance, domestic & international travels, and opportunities for professional growth.
