Company's History:

The company's history began when Mr. Munir Sukhtian bought a neighborhood pharmacy in Tulkarm, Palestine in 1933 from his father. The late Mr. Munir Sukhtian , a pharmacist with a degree from the American University of Beirut , created a solid foundation for dynamic expansion into a manufacturing, trading, marketing, distribution company with two branches in Nablus and Amman under the name Sukhtian Drug Stores. This forward-looking entrepreneur successfully turned his pharmacy into a leading wholesale pharmaceuticals and cosmetics organization.

After the passing of Mr. Munir Sukhtian in 1960, the company continued to be run by his associates and assistants until gradually his three sons took over the management of the business in the mid 1960's. Since then, the company has grown into the multidisciplinary regional concern which has become a Group today.

Currently MSI operates in three sectors: telecommunications contracting and operating and information technology; pharmaceuticals manufacturing, marketing and distribution, and agricultural inputs manufacturing and distribution and contract management for the private and government sectors.
