“Replek” AD today welcomed the Ambassador of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to North Macedonia, H.E. Matthew Lawson, who paid a working visit to the company and learned about its manufacturing capacities, growth plans, and export activities.
During the visit, the management team and the CEO of “Replek”, Dushan Pecovski, presented the results of the company’s development over the past 80 years, current investments in manufacturing capacities, as well as the strategic commitment to strengthening its presence in highly regulated international markets.
Emphasis was placed on the company’s recent entry into the UK market, following the approval of Reconazole (ketoconazole) 2% Shampoo by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), making it the first Replek medicinal product to be authorised in the United Kingdom. In addition, the Company successfully completed its first export shipment of Reconazole to the UK market in April this year, marking a significant milestone in Replek’s international expansion and further confirming that its manufacturing and regulatory processes comply with the highest international standards.
Chief Executive Officer of “Replek”, Dushan Pecovski, highlighted that the British market represents one of the most important benchmarks for every pharmaceutical manufacturer.
“For Replek, the registration and first export of Reconazole in the United Kingdom represent a significant milestone in our internationalisation strategy. The fact that we have successfully met the stringent requirements of the British regulatory body – MHRA is a strong confirmation of the quality of our products, the expertise of our teams and the maturity of our manufacturing and regulatory processes. Ambassador Lawson’s visit is further confirmation of the importance of this partnership and encouragement for our further growth plans in the British and other highly regulated international markets,” said the CEO of “Replek”, Dushan Pecovski.
On this occasion, Ambassador Lawson also visited some of the manufacturing facilities of “Replek”, where he was introduced to modern technological solutions, high-quality standards and safety, as well as continuous investments in manufacturing modernisation and development.
The meeting also included discussions on opportunities to further strengthen economic cooperation between the two countries, as well as the potential to expand the presence of Replek’s products, alongside those of other Macedonian companies, in the British market.
Replek continues to invest in strengthening its quality management system, expanding its manufacturing capabilities, and developing new products. The Company recently received the EU GMP Certificate for the fifth time, reaffirming its compliance with the highest European standards of Good Manufacturing Practice, quality and safety. Today, Replek’s products are available in more than 25 markets worldwide, with exports remaining one of the key drivers of growth under the Company’s new “80+” development phase.
