Halcrest / Company
A Delta company,
since 2009
Halcrest began with one tablet press in a rented warehouse in Asaba. Today 380 people make 24 products at Cable Point for pharmacies across Nigeria.
We believe everyday medicines should be made close to the people who take them, to a standard anyone can check.
That is why we publish our batch records for pharmacists, train in our home state and keep the plant running on our own power.
