This year at the Civil Society Gala ( an event aimed at recognizing the most important corporate social responsibility projects ), Mr. Glaas Postema , the CEO of Sicomed, received two trophies, one for the best healthcare project and the other for the best initiative targeting disadvantaged categories. He declared the following : “I believe that when you operate in the pharmaceutical industry you can best understand the meaning of social responsibility. When you are responsible for the health of the community, social involvement becomes a daily task. Being with the people with whom we share the same goal – increasing the quality of Romanians’ life – is for Sicomed a new opportunity to confirm its commitment to society”.

Here, at Sicomed, people have come to the understanding that it is only by providing quality products and services that we can be competitive in a highly competitive environment like the pharmaceutical industry.

The maintenance of the Quality standard is the company’s major objectives and long-term commitments. The top management supports the implementation and maintenance of the selected quality systems that are already in place, which will enable them to permanently improve processes and streamline the quality management system.
