ATLANTIC LABORATORIES CORP., LTD
Atlantic Group is a group of companies specializing in the manufacturing and distribution of pharmaceutical and related products. The group was established in 1949 when Mr. Somyos Vanaswas and Mrs. Kanda Vanaswas founded Atlantic Trading Company., Limited to import and distribute pharmaceutical products.
In 1962 Mr. and Mrs. Vanaswas founded Atlantic Laboratories Corp., Ltd. in Bangkok, Thailand with the assistance of Dr. Pradit Hutangkura [ Dean of Pharmacy Faculty of Mahidol University ] and Dr. Chumsai Hasdin. The pharmaceutical factory served as a pioneer in increasing the credibility of the Thai Pharmaceutical Industry. Since its introduction, Atlantic Laboratories Corp., Ltd. has grown to be widely accepted by both government and private clients alike due to its commitment in maintaining a high international standard of production.
Following the success of the first two companies within the group, the management saw the potential in expanding its business both domestically and internationally. Upon the beginning of operation in Hong Kong of the group’s first affiliated company in 1967, Atlantic Group became the first Thai Pharmaceutical manufacturer to export its products to a foreign market.
