About us
Pharmaxim is primarily a brand owner but also distributes other companies' brands. We prefer an exclusive distributor model where Pharmaxim manages everything from marketing and sales to customer service and logistics through its own warehouse from which we deliver customized goods to both individual stores and larger central warehouses in the Nordic region. We choose sustainable, quality/environmentally certified and nearby manufacturers of the products included in our brand portfolio. Many of our suppliers manufacture in Sweden or a Nordic country. We consider the Nordic region as our home market and we sell to end customers through wholesalers and retailers in all relevant channels.

This is Pharmaxim
The company was formed in 2003 as a spin-off when Pfizer bought Pharmacia and has evolved from a small pharmaceutical company mostly focused on animal care, to a company that today has a turnover of almost 200 million. A major shift came in 2009, when a new leg of the business was created with a focus on the consumer side and in health, hygiene and beauty with sales to the low-price market in the Nordic region. It was a great journey as turnover tripled. Eventually, Pharmaxim started developing its own brands and the first success was Liance®, launched in 2016. It is a series of hair care products developed with a focus on quality for a slightly younger target group through, for example, vegan recipes and manufactured in Sweden. The next big step was that the company was sold in 2018 to the company group Lotorp in Stockholm. With new owners came new capital and new skills. Three years later, the first major additional acquisition took place in the form of the brands Salubrin®, Dialon®, Gripen® and Jukon®. Owning old strong brands means that we can build long-term growth for the long term. But for the growing company, the premises in Helsingborg became more and more of a patchwork of extensions. It was time to move to a newly built adapted property with both 400 square meters of office and 3200 square meters of warehouse in Landskrona. Nowadays, several deliveries a day go from here to over 500 customers in the Nordic region, ranging from the large ICA group to small agricultural traders far out in the Finnish countryside.
What we want
Pharmaxim's goal is to double its turnover and profitability over the next 10 years through both the development of its own brands and the acquisition of new ones. The vision is that there will be a Pharmaxim product in every Nordic home and on every farm.
We therefore work continuously to improve and develop our business. This also includes constantly improving the environmental and quality aspects. Pharmaxim is a process-driven company with systems for deviation management and follow-up. This means that we work in a methodical and continuous way to improve the business. We continuously evaluate and develop the organization's working methods and processes to increase the quality of everything we do. We know that well-managed and close relationships with customers and suppliers are our most important success factor. We are constantly working to reduce our climate impact in the form of emissions, resource use and energy consumption throughout the value chain from manufacturing to finished product.
