History Orange Pharma

Orange Pharma was founded in 2006 by four young pharmacists. Initially, the goal was to efficiently supply their own pharmacies through wholesale distribution. Soon, the focus shifted to the Caribbean and Suriname, where we successfully became an alternative to the established players.

Market leader in the Caribbean region

Initially, the market was explored, but in 2012, the first order was delivered to Curaçao. Soon, the sales area expanded to other islands in the region, including Bonaire, Aruba, Saba, St. Eustatius, Sint Maarten, and even Suriname. Thanks to this rapid expansion, Orange Pharma quickly established itself as a market leader in the Caribbean.

Full-service partner

In 2016, the services expanded further to hospitals and wholesalers overseas, and the decision was made to also start distributing within the EU. Two years later, in 2018, Orange Pharma moved to a larger facility in Deventer with modern office and warehouse spaces. The position in the Caribbean was further strengthened by the acquisition of a local wholesaler in Sint Maarten and being appointed as the core supplier for all pharmacies on the island by SZV, the health insurer.

In 2023, Orange Pharmaexpanded further with the construction of a new warehouse and the addition of extra offices. In 2024, Orange Pharma was named an FD Gazelle for the fourth consecutive year, a recognition of rapid growth. Despite the strong growth, we remain committed to our philosophy of improving the accessibility of medicines. Today, the company employs approximately 50 people.
