KUALA LUMPUR, November 2. /Dunyo IA/. Malaysian company Farmasia Sdn Bhd has expressed interest in investing in Uzbekistan and establishing phased production of wound care, hygiene, and personal care products in the country, reports Dunyo IA correspondent.

Prospects for cooperation were discussed at a meeting between Uzbekistan’s Ambassador Karomiddin Gadoev and the company’s Founder, Muhammad Zaid Ab Rahman, and Chief Executive Officer, Zohrah Razak.

The parties explored opportunities for jointly manufacturing the company’s products in Uzbekistan using advanced technologies and attracting investment. Representatives of Farmasia Sdn Bhd expressed their readiness to gradually establish local production facilities, beginning with product packaging, with a view to entering the region’s growing healthcare market.

At the first stage, the parties plan to select wound cleansing and care products, as well as specialized gels for physical cooling and relief of discomfort, that are in greatest demand in the regional market. Market research will also be conducted.

The second stage involves establishing local secondary packaging facilities in compliance with ISO 8 cleanliness standards.

At the third stage, the company intends to develop its supply network, participate in public procurement processes and tenders, and expand its packaging capacity to reach markets across all regions of Uzbekistan.

The fourth stage involves launching local formulation and ingredient-mixing processes. This will enable the company to achieve deeper localization of production and expand supplies to markets in other Central Asian countries.

Founded in 2007, Farmasia Sdn Bhd initially specialized in supplying medical equipment to hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare institutions. It currently manufactures wound cleansing and care products, as well as specialized gels designed for physical cooling and enhanced comfort.
