Company organization
In 1995, five divisions comprised the company: critical care, pharmaceuticals, consumer products, wholesale products and an international division; the international division was created to manage the company's first marketing foray outside of South Africa.[3] the international division later disappeared as a transitional unit, leaving the four core units in place.
The company's office in Leicester, England was established in August 1993, with a staff of two people.[3]
Jonathan Louw led the company's pharmaceuticals division from 2002, at which time the company's CEO was Mike Norris.[4]: 8 Louw became the firm's CEO in 2006, and Norris retired shortly thereafter.[4]: 9 Louw continued as CEO until at least 2013.[5]: 70
History
Adcock Ingram started as a pharmacy in
The company began internationalisation in the 1990s, beginning with the United Kingdom and Australia, the former meant to be a springboard into Europe.[3]
The company was sold to Tiger Brands for R3.4 billion,
By 2005, Adcock revenues constituted half of all revenues for parent firm Tiger Brands.[4]: 9 However, growing friction between Adcock's portfolio and the strategic direction charted by Tiger led to Tiger's effective termination in investment in Adcock, which eventually led to divestment of Adcock in 2008, which was shortly followed by Adcock's relisting on the JSE exchange as an independent firm.[4]: 9
