Brussels, 15 October 2018. At the award ceremony for the "Company of the Year" 2018, Newpharma, the largest Belgian online pharmacy, beat AproPLAN, Qover and Skylane Optics to the title of Scale-up of the Year 2018.
Newpharma, whose head office is located in Liège, was set up in 2008 and is the leading Belgian online pharmacy, and one of the European heavyweights, with more than 1 million patients. The company, which stocks more than 30,000 products and 750 brands, benefits from an excellent logistics system which allows it to deliver the majority of orders placed before noon within 24 hours, in a dozen countries. In 2017, Newpharma generated turnover of €63 million with its 110 employees.
As such, Newpharma has made its mark in winning this award, which since 2013 has been handed out to young Brussels-based and Walloon companies with high potential, and well into their development phase. In a highly traditional market, the company has taken off by proposing an e-commerce model that is different from others on the market. As a result, Newpharma has been able to establish its name and conquer the international market in a relatively short period of time.
"Since the start of this competition in 2013, we have aimed to support and encourage young companies with high growth potential in Brussels and Wallonia. Newpharma matches the profile perfectly. The company has already notched up excellent results and is ideally positioned to continue its expansion, and one day become "Company of the Year®". The company is the worthy successor to Trasis, last year's winner", explained Carl Laschet, Associate Partner at EY.
