The start was in 1993 with the creation of Orchidia Promotions, a pharmaceutical service provider in the field of marketing and supportive activities like DRA, recruitment, training, etc...Orchidia Promotions entered the pharmaceutical sector in Egypt with the aim of providing promotional services to multinational pharmaceutical companies, this was the gateway through which Orchidia gained its vast experiences. Orchidia served as the local agent for a number of known multinational pharmaceutical companies from 1993 till 2002.During this period, Orchidia was responsible for launching, marketing and distribution of a wide range of eye care and general medicine products in Egypt.
