HISTORY
Dr. Manuel Olvera Herrera and Dr. Guadalupe Suarez Michel, pioneers in the mexican pharmaceutical industry, founded Avimex in 1952. During the first few years of operation Avimex was devoted to produce and market products for backyard poultry and fighting cocks. We were the first company producing multi-valent vaccines in Mexico.
In 1971 we built a new production facility, completely equipped to meet the needs of a state-of-the-art livestock industry. In 1986, the company was purchased by 'Grupo Industrial Pecuario".

Then, our focus became the modern poultry industry, and starting in the 90's, we also now serve the swine industry. Avimex is currently an animal health-focused company.
In 1994 the remodeling and equipping of our production facility and central office building was completed, in order to meet Good Manufacturing Practices. In 2003 we doubled our sterile production areas. This significantly increased our production capacity, for the benefit of our clients.
In 2003 we celebrated 15 years of maintaining trade relations abroad, especially with Central America, South America and Asia. Our products are currently being exported to more than 15 countries.
