The family-run Saudi healthcare and wellness company, Tamer Group, is celebrating its 100-year centenary this year and marking its founding in 1922. The centennial milestone is being honoured with a series of events throughout the year, taking place at company locations in Riyadh and Jeddah, attended by employees and business partners. The year will also see the launch of a new company website, centennial logo and brand communications.
From humble beginnings, over the 100 years, the company has grown to its position as a leading healthcare and wellness provider, serving the needs of communities in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Middle East and North Africa region. It was in the historic town of Jeddah that Dr Mohamed Said Tamer established the first pharmacy on the Arabian Peninsula, 100 years ago. Here he formulated and dispensed medications and provided medical consultations. As news of the pharmacy spread, the pharmacy grew to a nationwide healthcare distribution network in the Kingdom. Now, in 2022 Tamer Group is an integrated healthcare company that remains committed to its original purpose: to serve the needs of the community for a brighter, healthier future. Commenting on the Group centenary, Chairman Ayman Tamer remarked: “Our success is driven by our experienced management team but above all is built on an ethos of continuous learning enabled by multi-cultural business relationships. This success is also a testament to the resilience of the Saudi economy and the regulatory reforms that encourage enterprise. The Group strategy for the future is in full alignment with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030.”
