Gaelic Laboratories, a European CMO based in Ireland, has established a subsidiary in the UAE, enabling access to the Middle East market for Gaelic Labs and its marketing partners looking to access this growing region.

Recent amendments to regulations in the Middle East included new requirements for the Marketing Authorization Holder (MAH) to have at least two local establishments for importing, distributing and marketing medical products. This presents a barrier to companies that don’t have a local presence in the region.

Gaelic Laboratories has established a Commercial Arm in the UAE that enables the company to import, register, market and distribute medicines in the Middle East. With its newly opened Gaelic Drug Store LLC in Dubai, the company now has an infrastructure that enables it to market its own generic products in the region, and partner with other companies wanting to access the Middle East market.

“Gaelic Laboratories is a European manufacturer that has recognised the potential value of the Middle East market,” explains Brian Morrisey, General Manager of Gaelic Laboratories. “Our vision has always been to be a significant player in the generic pharma industry through the production of our own Beta-Lactam products, as well as contract manufacturing and testing services. Now, we are pleased to add a new service offering, as MAH partners for other high-quality pharma companies wanting to register and market their products in the Middle East.”

The Gaelic Laboratories Scientific Office brings a team of experts to manage access to the Middle East market, including regulatory consultants with a deep understanding of the requirements of local authorities. Gaelic Drug Store LLC then provides the company with a temperature-controlled warehouse with sufficient capacity to manage imported products for regional distribution.
