HIKMA PHARMACEUTICALS

Hikma was founded in 1978 in Amman, Jordan by Samih Darwazah, our current Chairman and CEO. In the early years, the Company’s primary focus was on developing a branded pharmaceuticals business across the MENA Region. Then in the early 1990’s, Hikma expanded outside the MENA Region by acquiring a generic pharmaceuticals business in the United States and by establishing injectable pharmaceutical operations in Portugal. Since then, the company has expanded significantly, both organically and through acquisition.
