53 BUSINESS VIEW CARIBBEAN MAY 2021 MEDIMPEX JAMA I CA LTD . & MEDIMPEX WEST INDI ES LTD . based on the latest scientific information available. Each product needs at least one week of training. González López adds, “From time to time, we also do training in product information and technique for the sales representatives who take orders from the pharmacists at pharmacies. We believe that the job of a sales rep is much more than just ticking boxes on an order sheet. We’re looking to add more over-the-counter products to our portfolio. So we have our sales reps ask clients what products would be on their wish list – what they would like the management to source – and we will go outside of the scope of current suppliers, looking for new products.” Looking ahead, Kowalczyk states, “Constant growth is our goal for the future. We are here for almost half a century and we want to keep providing the very best in top quality products and service. Thanks to our wonderful team, we are able to assist doctors and professionals with extending their knowledge about our products and the potential options of treatment. We are becoming not just a supplier but also an essential partner. Last year we moved to a bigger warehouse and office and we need more space for growth. So I truly believe that the next five to ten years will be concentrated growth in terms of establishing our presence in the region.” GIVING BACK Medimpex is always pleased to help countries where they have a presence, especially in this last year when the COVID-19 pandemic has hit economies worldwide.
