HISTORY

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.

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.

Product Evolution

Expansion of geographic borders and distribution channels

 

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.

Milestones

UPGRADED OFFICE SECURITY SYSTEM

Fingerprint Door-Lock System

To enhance our security system, our office is now using a fingerprint-based system. Since everyone has a unique fingerprint, which is required to get access, the security is relatively reassuring. The security of our office and office personnel is our utmost priority, and fingerprint-based lock system will deliver unto it.

CCTV Installation

CCTV Cameras are installed in the reception area and storage room. There are several beneficial advantages but our main goal is to protect both our employees and customers.

Steel Shelves

Cleanliness is very important to us. To reorganize our warehouse, steel shelving is an excellent choice. It provides stability, and durability; makes products easy to organize; and maintains orderliness.

Vision

To become a leading partner of healthcare professionals in bringing about a healthier Philippines

 

We envision a healthier and stronger Philippines.

We envision that patients will finally have access to medicine regardless of their status in life.

We envision our company to grow and become a leader in the delivery of health for all Filipinos.

Mission

To heal the sick and alleviate their pain. It is patients, not profits, that is the central and gravitating force in our day-to-day business. 

 

We are a pharmaceutical company engaged in the marketing, sales and distribution of quality, safe and affordable healthcare products.

We believe that health is a right for everyone, and we make ourselves an instrument to bring our products to as many Filipino patients as possible.
