Welcome to Beta Healthcare International Ltd, a renowned pharmaceutical manufacturing company with a rich history. Originating from UK’s Boots International, the company joined the Shelys Group (Shelys Africa) in 2003. The company offers a diverse product portfolio, including OTCs, prescription medications, and branded pharmaceutical products. Its domestic customer base is widespread throughout Kenya, while export sales extend across East and Central Africa, including Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, DR Congo, Zambia, Malawi, and Burundi.
The company has established a strong presence in Eastern, Central, and West Africa. Beta Healthcare International Ltd is a pioneer in Kenya, developing lifestyle brands that address niche yet essential needs of the Sub-Saharan African population. In 2012, Aspen Group acquired 100% of the share capital, strengthening its footprint in East, Central, and Western Africa.
The company’s operations in Kenya and Tanzania are key players in the PHARMA, OTC, prescription, herbal, and FMCG sectors within Sub-Saharan Africa. This alliance with Aspen Group provides a solid foundation for expansion into the broader African market and the development of an affordable, high-quality generics brand across the continent.
