MEBO Scar assists patients with both functional and cosmetic problems caused by scarring.

In 2012, Julphar will become the only company in the Middle East and North Africa Region to locally produce Recombinant DNA(r-DNA), the raw material used to make insulin.[citation needed] Julphar Diabetes—a division of Julphar that will manage the manufacturing and commercialization the company’s diabetes products—has the facility to produce approximately 40 million vials of insulin per year. In 2011, Julphar signed a partnership with International Diabetes Federation (IDF). Diabetes rates in the MENA are amongst the highest in the world. IDF estimates that in 2011, 32.6 million people are living with diabetes in the region, and this is expected to increase by over 80% by 2030.

Julphar maintains a network of eleven manufacturing plants based in the UAE, with plans to open additional facilities in strategic countries such as Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Ethiopia and Algeria. In 2011, Julphar signed an agreement with Saudi-based Cigalah Group, to build an independent manufacturing facility in the western region of KSA, in a project worth US$40 million.

In 2011, Julphar crossed AED 1billion in sales, an 11.3% growth from 2010.[12] In January 2013, Julphar launched its first international facility in Addis Ababa Ethiopia. This facility has the capacity to produce 25 million bottles, 50 million tablets and 170 million capsules per year.[13]"

In 1984, the company started producing non-sterile solid dosage medicines and later that year, obtained approval for 30 products from the Ministry of Health and Prevention. [15]

By 1990, Julphar had established distribution agents in the United States, Germany, Ecuador, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Jordan, Yemen, Sudan and Pakistan. In 2003, the company launched its biotechnology facility, Julphar VII, which began producing erythropoietin, interferon, Granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (GCSF) and interleukin. Julphar’s transportation division MenaCool was launched in 2008, which today comprises a fleet of 40 temperature and humidity controlled vehicles that is supported by air, sea and freight. [16]

The company signed an agreement with Saudi Arabia-based company Cigalah Group in 2011 to build an independent manufacturing facility in the western region of the Kingdom – a project worth SAR 300 million. [17] In 2012, Julphar started producing biosimilars and in the same year launched Julphar Diabetes Solutions. [18]

In conjunction with its local Ethiopian partner Medtech, Julphar officially inaugurated its first manufacturing facility outside of the UAE in 2013. Based in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa, Julphar Ethiopia today produces 500 million tablets, 100 million capsules, 15 million bottles of syrups and suspensions, and 2 million tubes of ointments a year. [19]

Two years later in 2015, the company acquired a majority stake in Bangladesh-based RAK Pharmaceuticals (now Julphar Bangladesh) for USD9.5 million marking its entry into the Bangladeshi market. Julphar Bangladesh today produces 300 million tablets, 150 million capsules, 2 million bottles of dry powder and 2 million tubes of ointments a year. [20]

Julphar Diabetes Solutions produces insulin, DPP4 Inhibitors, medical devices, active ingredients and oral anti-diabetics and is now one of the largest producers of insulin in the world. [24]

In August 2018, Julphar signed an agreement with global medical technology company, BD (Becton, Dickinson and Company), to supply disposable insulin pens in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Through this agreement, Julphar’s human insulin formulations including Jusline R, Jusline N and Jusline 30/70 will be available for administration through BD’s portfolio of BD Vystra™ disposable pens. In addition, the same device will be used for insulin analogues (insulin glargine and insulin lispro), which are still under development. [25]

PLEASE CREATE A NEW SECTION CALLED PARTNERSHIPS AND ADD THE BELOW TO IT:

 Partly done: @Anthonypermal: I removed the last three sections, but the rest of what you have listed amounts to a complete and pretty significant rewrite of the article. This is more than what is intended with an edit request. I believe consensus is needed for these changes before they are implemented. Dolotta (talk) 21:42, 12 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Dolotta: Thank you. Based on the information provided - with citations - can at least the CEO details be updated? Ayman hasn't been CEO for a while now. Second, what is needed for consensus to be arrived at? Thanks again. Anthonypermal (talk) 04:33, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]


@Dolotta: Please change the CEO's name. He hasn't been CEO for more than 2 years. Please amend with the current CEO's name as cited in the amendments requested above earlier. I'm not sure why that is not changed yet despite it being a confirmed fact. Anthonypermal (talk) 07:33, 28 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Anthonypermal: There doesn't appear to be a direct reference for the CEO change, although there are references for other portions of the proposed changes to the info box. Would you be able to spell it out? When you respond, feel free to reset the ans= option in the edit request as well. My Wikipedia time may be limited by my life in the real world this week. Thanks! -- Dolotta (talk) 22:17, 28 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Dolotta: Hey Dolotta, here's the reference to the change of CEO of the company. The CEO left and now the company has a General Manager instead. Here's the reference, it's from an independent news article and interview. After that reference I've also added a reference of the corporate website of the company as well that shows his role as General Manager. [1] and [2] Please can you change this?
