Three decades of chemistry, one integrated company.
Exemed is a pharmaceutical company built on more than three decades of experience in drug intermediates and specialty chemicals, with a reputation for quality and reliability. Established in 2009, we have grown our capabilities from APIs to finished formulations, supported by experienced professionals, a dedicated R&D team and modern manufacturing infrastructure.
Exemed Pharmaceuticals was established in 2009 as a venture initiated by Mr. Pranav Patel and is headquartered in Vadodara, Gujarat. The company grew from a business group with more than three decades of experience in manufacturing drug intermediates and specialty chemicals, bringing that experience into pharmaceutical manufacturing.
Today, Exemed provides end-to-end solutions starting from drug intermediates and Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients through to finished formulations. The company is supported by a strong R&D team, experienced professionals and manufacturing infrastructure developed to meet pharmaceutical requirements.
Its manufacturing presence includes an API facility at Luna near Vadodara and an API and formulation facility at Vapi. Together, these facilities form the foundation of Exemed’s manufacturing capabilities.
We are motivated by our vision and mission to make the world a healthier and happier place. Exemed Pharmaceuticals
