We are an emerging global healthcare company, engaged in the business
 
 of manufacturing, marketing and distribution of a broad spectrum of 
 pharmaceutical and allied healthcare products, with operations in
 several key
 markets of the world, backed by state of the art manufacturing
 facilities.
 
 Historical perspective
 
 We started our operations as a small company marketing generic drugs
 under 
 the name of Plazma Laboratories, in the year 1963. This later on
 resulted in the 
 formation of Ethico Drugs & Chemical Mfg. Co in the year 1978, a
 manufacturing 
 and marketing company selling branded generic antibiotics. We were
 amongst 
 the first to launch Doxycycline (Minicycline) and Cotrimoxazole
 (Timizole) in the 
 Indian market. Both the products were well accepted by the Indian
 medical 
 fraternity. It was this start, that gave us the required impetus in
 the domestic 
 market and paved the way for a host of new and innovative branded
 formulations 
 to be launched in India in segments like the anti-malarials,
 Antitubercular drugs 
 and so on.
 
 In order to strengthen our marketing and distribution network,
 Plethico 
 Pharmaceuticals (P) Ltd. was established in the year 1985, with the
 objective of 
 establishing as one of the major players in the domestic Pharma
 market. Plethico 
 Pharmaceuticals (P) Ltd was converted into Public Limited Company in
 1993.
 The company established its presence with several major brands like
 RezQ, 
 Reziz, Koxi, Monto 3, Monto 4, Recofast, Recofast Plus, Amloz, Amloz
 AT, 
 Cebect, Cebect TZ in segments like the Antimalarials, Anti-
 Tubercular, Cough 
 & Cold, Cardiac and the Antimicrobials to name a few. 1996 saw the
 Company 
 make its foray into the international market by initiating exports to
 Russia, CIS, 
 Africa and Eastern Europe. 2003 saw the launch of our OTC division
 under the 
 umbrella of Coach’s Formula Protein Health Drink. So from a humble
 beginning we
 stand today at a sales of Rs 2221.85 Mn and a PAT of Rs 561.30 Mn for
 the year 
 ending September 30, 2005.
