Our company

An independent
pharma partner
with regional roots.

Founded in Podgorica in 2014, AMDIS d.o.o. exists to bridge the gap between international pharmaceutical manufacturers and the patients of the Western Balkans — through regulatory excellence, GDP-certified logistics and disciplined commercial execution.

Our story

Founded by pharmacists,
built for manufacturers.

AMDIS was founded in 2014 by a group of pharmacists and regulatory professionals who saw the same problem from both sides: talented pharma companies struggling to enter the Western Balkans, and patients waiting too long for innovative therapies to reach them.

The first years were spent building the infrastructure: GDP-certified warehousing, validated cold-chain capacity, qualified persons, and the regulatory dossiers needed to operate in 14 different national markets simultaneously. By 2017 we had our first commercial launches.

Today our team of 28 includes pharmacists, regulatory specialists, supply-chain engineers and commercial leaders — many of whom trained at Hemofarm, Stada, Novartis and Roche before joining AMDIS.

"We measure our success in the number of patients who got the medicine they needed, on time, at the right dose." — Dr. S. Marković, Founder & CEO

Mission & values

Three principles that
guide every decision.

These are not aspirational posters in the corridor. They are operational rules — how we evaluate new partners, how we onboard a new SKU, and how we respond when something goes wrong.

01 — Patient first

Every box contains a person.

Every product on our shelves is destined for someone in pain, in need, in hope. We treat each shipment accordingly — with temperature integrity, with serialisation, with traceability, with respect.

02 — Manufacturer alignment

We work as your team.

We align our KPIs with yours. We protect your brand equity as if it were our own. We share market intelligence transparently and act on it quickly. We are an extension of your country organisation.

03 — Compliance without compromise

GDP, GMP, GDPR — non-negotiable.

Regulatory compliance is the foundation, not the goal. Every audit is a chance to improve; every deviation is a chance to learn. We are honest with inspectors, with partners, and with ourselves.

The team

Pharmacists, regulatory experts,
and supply-chain engineers.

A compact team of senior professionals. Everyone you meet has spent at least a decade in the regional pharmaceutical industry, and most of us still call the Balkans home.

Milestones

A decade of quiet
growth.
