Retaining the trust of medical practitioners and patients depends on holistic quality control.
As a sourcing partner, Multichem Sourcing adopts a customer-centric approach to sourcing, importing and distributing pharmaceutical-grade APIs, thereby enabling the compounding of medicines customised to meet the precise needs of individual patients.
With over 30 years’ experience in Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) sourcing, importation and distribution, Multichem Sourcing offers the benefits of a certified chemical sourcing partner to both pharmaceutical companies and compounding pharmacies.
To date, Multichem Sourcing is one of only two API importers in South Africa to have obtained a SAHPRA license and remains the only chemical sourcing company authorised to import cold chain items. SAHPRA certification is the ultimate guarantee of peace of mind for customers, as it is based on stringent audits of all aspects of quality control.
To ensure ongoing compliance, Multichem Sourcing has implemented GMP, GWP and GDP policies that support and reinforce the company’s commitment to continuous improvement. At the same time, the development of quality driven SOPs facilitates world-class training and ensures that the necessary knowledge is retained within the workforce.
“Clients will naturally want to choose a specialist chemical sourcing company that not only has sufficient experience and expertise, but which has also acquired and maintained the requisite licences for the importation, storage and distribution of APIs,” explains Natalie Gerhardt, MD for Multichem Sourcing.
“For us, quality control begins with supplier vetting,” explains Sanam Desai, Responsible Pharmacist & QA Manager at Multichem Sourcing. “At Multichem Sourcing, we have built up an international network of trusted suppliers. This allows us to source and import high-quality APIs that ultimately support enhanced patient outcomes,” she adds.
With Multichem Sourcing, quality control is simply one facet of delivering API solutions. It is closely allied to risk assessment protocols designed to manage the entire process from sourcing to importation and ultimately supply.
The result is end-to-end supply chain integrity, failsafe traceability and supply chain custody assurances that ensure high-end, high-quality products.

About Multichem Sourcing
Multichem Sourcing was founded by the late Les Williamson in 1990. The values he espoused – quality, integrity and customer centricity – remain a core part of Multichem’s DNA to this day. Multichem Sourcing has always been ahead of the compliance curve, which means that attaining SAHPRA certification was a natural progression. Multichem Sourcing specialises in all aspects of sourcing, including supplier auditing and verification, compliance, importing, storage and distribution of APIs, and working to the requirements of Drug Master Files (DMFs) and medicine registration. In addition to supporting the pharmaceutical industry, Multichem also sources within many other manufacturing sectors, including the food, nutraceutical and cosmeceutical fields, as well as animal health, specialised agricultural additives and various other technical industries.
