DR. THEISS AL
Originally established as Farmix, the company began as a distributor of OTC products and dermo-cosmetics, building a strong presence across Albania’s leading pharmacies and retail chains. Expanding beyond Kosovo was a significant step for GAK. Through calculated risk-taking, an experienced team and reliable international partners, Farmix became GAK’s first successful business venture outside Kosovo, consistently achieving double-digit annual growth. Following this strong performance, the company entered a new phase of development. Farmix’s business was acquired by Dr. Theiss Naturwaren, and a new jointly owned company was established under the name DR. THEISS AL. This strategic partnership combines Dr. Theiss Naturwaren’s manufacturing expertise, international product portfolio and brand strength with GAK’s local market knowledge, distribution infrastructure and operational experience. DR. THEISS AL is now positioned to further expand its portfolio of high-quality OTC, dermo-cosmetic and FMCG products, strengthen its presence throughout Albania and develop new sales and service channels to soon become a serious player in both FMCG and Pharma.
GAK AND PARTNERS
The success of 1AMD in Kosovo and Farmix in Albania demonstrated GAK’s ability to build, develop and sustainably grow Dr. Theiss brands across different markets. This strong performance led Dr. Theiss to entrust the Group with the representation and distribution of its brands in Slovenia. Established in 2020, GAK & PARTNERS operates as a distributor of OTC products and dermo-cosmetics. Although Slovenia represented a new and more distant market, the company successfully transferred GAK’s experience, operational standards and market-development strategy into a foreign business environment. By 2023, GAK & PARTNERS had established stable operations and consistent growth in Slovenia. This success further strengthened the partnership with Dr. Theiss and created opportunities for continued regional expansion, including the development of the same brands in Greece. GAK & PARTNERS represents an important step in the Group’s transformation from a locally established distributor into a growing regional business platform.
