Aspen Australia commenced operations in May 2001 with a portfolio of products generating sales of around $10 million. After the acquisition of the Sigma pharmaceutical business in February 2011, current annualised sales are close to $900 million in Australia and New Zealand.

Aspen Australia is also responsible for a growing business in a dozen countries in Asia accounting for about $83 million in in-market sales.

Besides marketing and distributing products owned by the Aspen Group, we also license in products from other companies, and are focused on meeting the needs of our licensors.

Our Company

Aspen Pharmacare Australia is a division of Aspen Pharmacare Holdings Limited, the largest listed pharmaceutical company in South Africa, with market capitalization of around US$8 billion. *

Aspen commenced operations in Australia in May 2001 and since then has acquired many established brands of medicines.

There are many tried and trusted brands in Australia which are no longer actively promoted by pharmaceutical companies because they are either off patent or their volumes are too low to warrant the cost of promotion. Sometimes in large companies turning over hundreds of millions of dollars, a $5 million product is not even on the radar screen, so to speak.
