Medical warehouses and drug stores are licensed by the Emirates Drug Establishment (EDE). We deliver the whole project, trade licence to final inspection, or hold your stock in our own GDP warehouse while yours is built.
There are two ways to put pharmaceutical stock on the ground in the UAE. The first is to use ours. Pharmareg holds its own licensed pharmaceutical facility and medical warehouse, together with the EDE importer credentials that sit behind them, so your products can be imported, stored, and distributed under our licence from day one.
The second is to own the operation. We deliver a pharmaceutical warehouse setup in the UAE as a turnkey project: the trade licence, the EDE application, a compliant premises, a licensed pharmacist in charge, and the final medical warehouse licence in your name. We are a licensed partner, not a paperwork consultancy: we have built and licensed our own facility, and we build yours the same way.
Most clients combine the two. Stock trades under our licence while the project runs, then migrates to your warehouse once the licence is issued. Commercial supply never waits for construction.
One team across corporate, engineering, regulatory, and staffing workstreams.
The commercial foundation: company formation and a trade licence carrying the right activities for pharmaceutical storage and distribution.
The medical warehouse, or drug store, application prepared and filed with the Emirates Drug Establishment on complete documents.
A compliant engineering layout prepared for the premises, and the drawings taken through authority approval before fit-out.
Initial and final inspections prepared, attended, and closed out, with our own gap checks before each visit.
Licensing of the pharmacist in charge, run in parallel with the facility work so both are ready together.
The EDE warehouse licence issued in your name, ready for import permits and commercial supply.
Four authority gates stand between an empty unit and a licensed warehouse. We run each of them once, properly.
The medical warehouse application filed with the EDE, with the corporate documents behind it.
The authority's first review of the proposed premises, prepared for in advance.
The engineering layout and drawings submitted and approved, guiding the fit-out.
The finished, GDP-ready premises inspected ahead of licence issuance.
The final warehouse licence issued, and the operation ready to trade under it.
Not every manufacturer needs racking and loading bays. For multinationals that want their own licensed presence in the UAE, we set up scientific offices: the entity, the regulatory application, and the professional staffing handled as one project.
The model pairs naturally with our infrastructure. The scientific office anchors your name in the market, while importation, GDP storage, and distribution run under our medical warehouse licence and our role as your Local Representative and Marketing Authorisation Holder. Presence first, infrastructure only when the numbers justify it.
We do not quote one number for a warehouse project, because the licence is the end of a sequence: trade licence, EDE application, initial inspection, drawings approval, fit-out, and final inspection. Every government stage is subject to authority response times, and the overall duration is decided mostly by how quickly the premises reach a compliant state.
So we compress what we control. Applications go in complete. Drawings are prepared to pass review, not to open a discussion. Inspections are rehearsed before the inspector arrives. And while the project runs, your stock can already be trading from our warehouse under our licence.
