IKOP Sdn Bhd (formerly known as IIUM Pharmacy Sdn Bhd) is a Malaysian company based in Kuantan that aspire to be a top player in pharmaceutical industry while consistently complying with the ever changing quality aspects in pharmaceuticals and dynamic shari’ah requirement.
As one of the subsidiaries of IIUM Holdings, we are committed in growing our business to cater products and services to our customers.
We are prepared to prosper in pharmaceutical business by equipping ourselves with relevant equipment and analytical instruments used extensively in our core activities.
Beside the usual business nature of a pharmaceutical manufacturer, IKOP also offers industrial training to students, fresh graduates and employees for hands-on pharmaceuticals manufacturing experience as our commitment to notion-building, particularly in providing skilled workforce for the country. In addition, we also provide contract services in research, manufacturing and testing for entrepreneur and corporate alike.
Producing halal pharmaceuticals is our top priority. This is shown by our commitment in Malaysian halal pharmaceuticals standards, which is a value added quality system on top of the conventional quality -safety-efficacy triads practiced in GMP-certified manufacturers from PIC/S members countries. With JAKIM’s globally recognized halal certification, we are ready to tackle the huge halal market throughout the world.
As of 2020, IKOP has been supplying medications to Malaysian government healthcare sector for three years through Approved Products Purchase List (APPL) by Ministry of Health Malaysia. With the know-how of supplying mass orders to public hospitals and the latest formation of IIUM Holdings Healthcare Division, this move is expected to give more opportunities for IKOP Sdn Bhd in private healthcare sector.
