Johnson & Johnson AMET (Africa, Middle East and Turkey) recently honoured Doha Drug Store with the ‘Distributor of the Year 2019 Award’ at a function attended by all its distributors in the region.
The region consists of 78 countries and over 100 distributors.
“Being ahead of all the countries and distributors is a huge achievement for our team, especially as Qatar has witnessed 40 years of aggressive growth,” said Benjamin Martis, general manager of Doha Drug Store.
Two other awards were also bagged by Qatar, including the Neutrogena launch shopper award and the distributor excellence programme — platinum.
These awards recognise the performance of the distributor on several KPIs and follows a stringent selection process to qualify, a press statement notes.
Doha Drug Store is one of Qatar’s well-established trading companies and represents over 80 exclusive agencies in the consumer goods and pharmaceutical (generic and research) industries.
Founded in 1960 as a pharmaceutical trading company, Doha Drug Store has since grown into one of Qatar’s major distributors for both pharmaceutical and FMCG, the statement adds.
