Ernest Chemists marks 30th milestone
Pharmaceutical giant, Ernest Chemists Limited has
climaxed its 30th anniversary celebrations by
honouring over 60 individuals and organisations
for their support towards the growth and
development of the pharmaceutical industry.
The institutions included financial and
pharmaceutical companies which were each presented
with plaques and certificates of recognition at a
dinner and awards dance held at the weekend in
Accra.



Speaking at the ceremony, Mr Yaw Bediako Sampong,
the General Manager (Operations) of the company
stated that the company was poised to consolidate
the gains made over the last 30 years to expand
the wholesale network into the ECOWAS market and
to compete favourably with world acclaimed
pharmaceutical companies.

He added that Ernest Chemists Limited was already
in Sierra Leone and that the company was at the
forefront of the work towards the development of
the pharmaceutical industry.

Mr Bediako Sampong expressed gratitude to all
partners, including its foreign suppliers, the
financial institutions which provide the company
with credit, as well as its workers for being
loyal to the company.



The CEO of the company, Mr Ernest Bediako Sampong,
said he started the business while a student of
the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and
Technology after gaining some experience in
pharmaceutical business, while working with his
father.

Mr Bediako Sampong, one time CIMG Marketing Man of
the year, a recipient of Ghana’s Order of the
Volta (officer category) awarded and voted twice
as 10th Most Respected CEO in Ghana, said the
company had engaged in numerous corporate social
responsibilities in the education, sports and
community development/health sectors.

Mr Winfred Adjei, Assistant Production Manager of
the Ernest Chemists Limited, said from a humble
beginning, the company had become an unavoidable
pharmaceutical and therapeutic avenue for many
Ghanaians, as well as people from the West African
sub-region and beyond. “The real fact that
Ernest Chemists has also positioned itself as a
resourceful ‘business mother’ from whom many
pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical businesses
have been nurtured and cultured cannot be
denied,” he said.

As a compassionate and a caring brand, he said the
company was also the economic and financial live
wire for over 600 Ghanaians and non-Ghanaian
employees and their dependents, adding that “all
these achievements have been made possible due to
the support and sacrifices the company has
continuously received”.
