Pharmascience pharmaceuticals

Pharmascience Inc. is a prominent Canadian pharmaceutical company that has established itself as a leader in the development and manufacturing of generic and specialty medications. Founded in 1983 by pharmacists Morris Goodman and Ted Wise, the company started as a small team in Montreal and has grown into the largest Canadian-owned pharmaceutical firm. Its operations are heavily concentrated in Quebec, with major manufacturing and R&D facilities located in Montreal, Candiac, and Dorval. The company is known for its high-quality standards, with facilities approved by major international regulatory bodies including Health Canada and the US FDA.

The global footprint of Pharmascience extends to over 50 countries where its products are distributed. While the majority of its manufacturing occurs at its world-class facilities in Canada (accounting for approximately 80% of its production), it supports its international presence through strategic partnerships and regional offices. Ownership of the brand remains private, held by the founding families through the parent company Joddes Limited. As an independent entity, Pharmascience continues to invest significantly in research and development, maintaining a competitive edge in both the generic market and through its specialty brand division, Pendopharm.
