Iran Pharmis' Mission is to supply the markets we participate in with the products and services which enables people to have the chance of enjoying their life again. In this path, we sometimes take the direct way of providing the products that are just made for achieving this goal (e.g. in products and services related to Wound, Ostomy, and Incontinence Therapy, and so forth) and sometimes our products help others to help us achieve this goal (by supplying products such as Surgical Gloves, or Surgical Tapes).

2001:
Iran Pharmis, Teb Novin, and a couple of other companies merged to form "Novin Group" which became the largest private company in Iran working on disposables
2005: Iran Pharmis with Novin Group purchased 51% of shares of a start-up company, Darou Darman Pars (DDP), and they entered into the pharmaceutical supply industry with this acqusition.
2006: Iran Pharmis along with Novin Group received the national distribution authorization for pharmaceutical products in this year (as the government started to allow private companies to also enter this sector). This distribution company which was also distributing disposables medicals formed in order to get the so-called products to the pharmacies and hospitals making them available in all over the country.
2007: Mr. Fereidoon Soltani, a member of the management team, left the company after 27 years of cooperation along with his son, Bahram. They formed a new company along with new partners, and Iran Pharmis' 20 years of cooperation with Coloplast got terminated in this year.

Iran Pharmis is now working independantly again after 8 years of working along with the Teb Novin Company.
2010: Iran Pharmis separated its sales units into two major divisions which are general items and professional items. The general items will be targeting the low-end of the Iranian Market, and the professional items are targeting the high-end of the market. This became an avoidable strategy as the company's portfolio grew further and as the gap the Iranian Consumer Sector widend. This shift has become a huge growth contributing factor. The low-end targeted division will be operating as a fully subsidiary company called Tamin Salamat.
