RejsiFarma Founded
The cofounders of RejsiFarma are Merita & Nexhat Sheqi: graduate biochemist & pharmacist and graduate engineer, respectively. They started from the bottom, beginning the operations in a rented premise of only 114sqm. With hard work the staff was expanded to five, they made the first partner a Greek company named “REMEDINA”. Although it was very small and had little to offer to the market, it was a secure start heading for a bright future.
Expansion of Product Range
The company was forming strong roots. Due to its determination and performance it went from a small start to being a very competitive distributor. Within six years of its operation RejsiFarma has expanded its products range and had collaborations with leading partners.

New Premises
Rejsi Farma moved to new and owned premises of 700 square meters. Its activity was quickly growing. More partnerships were achieved and the market share continued to grow, supplying now 70% of the market. In these new premises, RejsiFarma focused even more on implementing GDP standards, and becoming a major pharmaceutical distributor. RejsiFarma passed several audits and therefore trust was build between the partners and clients, and the performance strengthened and improved.

History is the story of change over time. As professor Robert Denning said “History demonstrates that circumstances and technologies change, but humans still want the same things that they wanted in previous civilizations: wealth, health, security, happiness, power, spiritual and social fulfillment.” At RejsiFarma it is our responsibility to offer the best health possibilities to Albanian patients. We honour our mission by offering our partners the best regulatory affairs, pharmacovigilance, warehousing, distribution & marketing services in Albania.
