Quilaban
Promoting access to health for more than 40 years with the goal of taking care of the health and wellness of people like us, Quilaban operates in multiple healthcare and wellness areas. Based on the pharmaceutical distribution legacy built in 1940 by Victor Hugo da Silva Cordeiro, the company was incorporated in 1974 by João Cordeiro with the goal of promoting the business associated with analytical laboratory chemistry, giving rise to the designation “Quilaban”. Quilaban has positioned itself as a reference partner for the development and implementation of innovative, effective, and integrated healthcare solutions. This is the result of Quilaban’s strong partnership culture, which is reflected by the representation agreements that last for more than 25 years. In addition to diagnostics, Quilaban’s current business portfolio includes representation, trading and distribution of clinical and hospital consumables, point-of-care equipment and hygiene products, pharmaceutical distribution, international logistics, training, and consultancy. Quilaban operates in Portugal and in the Portuguese-speaking African countries, in India and in nine more countries. Company development throughout the years originates from the entrepreneur spirit and corporate vision of its founder and main stakeholder. The partnership, efficiency, service, quality, innovation, and simplicity values have been the pillars that hold the organisation’s continuous development strategy, that has been rewarded with a place on the Excellence at Work Index and on the Happiness Works ranking.
