About us
An Algerian company built for international laboratories
Al Malwan is an Algerian pharmaceutical establishment (établissement pharmaceutique d'exploitation) based in Algiers, serving human and veterinary health. We hold and manage registrations, import, distribute and promote products on behalf of foreign laboratories.
Our leadership has worked on both sides of the table: inside leading multinational pharmaceutical companies, and for more than 17 years building businesses in Algeria and North Africa. We know what a principal expects from a local partner, and we know how the Algerian system works.
الملوان
The day and the night
In classical Arabic, al-malawān means the day and the night together. Our logo carries the same idea: a capsule that is half sun, half moon, held inside an open circle. Care for our partners' products does not stop, and our door stays open.
