About Lamar International
Lamar International (Pty) Ltd is a South African pharmaceutical company founded in 2007. The company has been operating for over 15 years under the authorisation of the South African Health Products Regulatory Authority (SAHPRA). Reflecting our commitment to excellence and responsible business practices, Lamar International holds a Level 1 B-BBEE rating and boasts relationships with both public and private stakeholders.
Our Approach
We provide a fully integrated platform to bring pharmaceutical products to market in South Africa and ensure their long-term commercial success. Lamar partners with licenced and certified stakeholders throughout the product lifecycle – from regulatory submissions and approval; and market entry to commercial execution and national distribution – ensuring sustainable access across both the public and private healthcare sectors.
Where clinically justified and permitted, Lamar also specialises in the sourcing and procurement of essential emergency medicines governed by South African regulatory pathways such as Section 21. This process is strictly regulated by SAHPRA to enable controlled access to essential registered medicines in urgent short supply or unregistered medicines for specific circumstances.
Our Team
Lamar International has a highly experienced and capable team, with many members each contributing over 25 years of pharmaceutical industry expertise. We combine local market expertise with execution capability, allowing partners to enter and scale in South Africa with confidence, without the need to build their own infrastructure.
Our Mission
To improve access to high-quality medicines and innovations that strengthen healthcare across Sub-Saharan Africa.
Our Promise
When it comes to health, we believe in reliability, compliance, and responsiveness – especially when it matters most.
