NiiX Holdings’ team of experts in regulatory affairs, distribution logistics, sales and marketing, and industry-leading customer service, has demonstrated the ability to deliver strong results in both the tender and private sectors. Group Director International Sales of Martindale Pharma, Eric Vick commented: “As demand for our portfolio of essential medicines continues to grow in International markets, it is vital that Martindale Pharma partners with companies that can offer strong local market and technical knowledge.
