MedTech Holdings Limited Group, which was listed on the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange in 1997, is a diversified group of companies engaged in the manufacturing, marketing and distribution of health, hygiene, beauty, and pharmaceutical products.
History
The Group is a prominent player in the provision, manufacture and distribution, of a wide range of products for the healthcare and consumer sectors. Furthermore, MedTech supplies Government and private sector tenders, as well as various pharmacies, healthcare providers, wholesalers and retailers.
Up until recently, the group operated Zimbabwe Pharmaceuticals, a Bulawayo based pharmaceutical manufacturer. However, we have recently disposed of that business due to low local demand and business environmental issues.
The Executive Directors and Senior Management are largely responsible for the implementation of strategic plans, with the Non-Executive Directors being involved in monitoring the progress of the business, and re-defining the Group’s business plan, in line with prevailing economic fundamentals.
