A Brief History
Fast International was established in
1991 as a branch of the National Inspection and
Survey Office which was established in early
1982 in Port Sudan to work in the field of
shipping, transport, custom clearance and to
follow up the activities of international
insurance companies working in Port Sudan such
as Lloyd’s Company.
Fast International moved to Khartoum, the
capital, in the same year to start new
activities in the capital, this expanded mainly
due to Fast International’s longstanding
relationship with non-government organizations
(NGO’s) and other agencies.

Business Areas:
Pharmaceutical Division
Our major field of business is undoubtedly the
import of pharmaceuticals. The Pharmaceutical
Division was established in 1993 under the
management of Dr. Tarig Mohy Aldin, Chairman of
the Board and General Manager. The Fast
International board of directors allocated a
separate budget for this project amounting to
the sum of USD 700,000. Today the Pharmaceutical
Division has a budget of approximately USD 3.5
million.Initially, the pharmaceutical division
commenced with the distribution of drugs
produced by Hikma Pharmaceuticals of Jordan and
disposable syringes from the Medical Jordanian
Corporation (MJC).
In 1998 alone, Fast International imported 6% of
pharmaceuticals expended by the private sector.
In keeping with our pioneer spirit, Fast
International was the only private company to
implement distribution channels in remote areas.
Fast International’s outstation offices serve to
cope with the nature of Sudan’s vastness as
towns are spread all over the country far
distances from the capital.
Furthermore, branch offices were established in
Port Sudan, Medani and Kassala to facilitate
payment and delivery. These new additions of
course not only assure our customers the best
quality service and customer care but also
reflect positively on our sales. As a result
Fast International maintains a vast integrated
distribution network of pharmacy products.
Preparations are underway to inaugurate new
branch offices in El-Obeid a large regional town
located in the western edge of Sudan, with a
high population density and valuable location.
In addition, with the advent of peace in the
Sudan, a branch office in the southern city of
Juba, the largest in the south will be
established shortly.
Transport and Clearance
Since its establishment, Fast International has
been undertaking transportation and custom
clearance which were formerly managed by the
National Inspection and Survey Office of Port
Sudan.
In 1994 Fast International transported
approximately 50% of relief items for NGO’s like
UNICEF, Sudanese Red Crescent and the Adventist
Development and Relief Agency (ADRA). As a
result Fast International has acquired a
reputation as a company with firm relations
among transport companies.
Agricultural Division
Established in 1994, the agricultural division
deals with the provision of different
agricultural needs ranging from seeds to
fertilizers and pesticides. These items are
imported from Jordan to cater for the local
market.
This division participates in all tenders
supplying pioneer agricultural schemes in the
Sudan. Most recently Fast International acquired
spraying aircraft as part of expansion in the
agricultural domain.
Medical Equipment Division
With Fast Internationals growing expertise in
the pharmaceutical field, it was inevitable to
expand into the area of medical equipment and
instruments. Fast's strong ties with key doctors
whether in private clinics or medical institutes
helped in realizing this division.
With the advent of peace, Sudan's healthcare
systems are undergoing a massive overhaul, with
primary health care improving at national
levels. There is a definite transition from
humanitarian assistance to institutionalized
development structures and systems that are
sustainable as well as increasing capacity
building to insure that skills, attitudes and
tools can foster these health care reforms.
Banks
Fast International deals with and has current
accounts (Local and Foreign) with the following
banks:
§ Saudi Sudanese Bank (Center Station Branch)
§ Elneilen Bank (Main Branch)
Fast International streamlines pharmaceutical
distribution for fast reliable service
throughout Sudan. Only twelve years ago, Fast
International Corporation began distribution of
pharmaceuticals from Hikma of Jordan. At that
time, it was our goal to organize a concrete
network to distribute pharmaceuticals safely and
efficiently throughout the country, we have
achieved our goal and today Fast International
reaches the length and breadth of Sudan. Our
imports during 2004 amounted to USD 5.5 million.
Broad– Based Service and Supply
Now Fast International’s name is associated with
a reputation for unmatched services.
Assurance by Computer
Towards our goal, we have installed a modern
computer system throughout giving our clients
two distinct advantages, first ordering,
invoicing and dispatch are quick and simple.
Secondly and most importantly computerized
warehousing assures that the products move
efficiently through the pipeline for longest
shelf-life and product efficiency. Which adds up
to more efficient service for our clients?
Warehousing
We take particular pride in our warehousing
operations. Our main warehouse is specially
designed to withstand the rigors of the Sudanese
climate to guarantee products freshness.
Customized air conditioners maintain
temperatures from 15º – 25º degrees Centigrade,
in addition to a cold room for products that
need refrigeration.

based on professional attitudes and teamwork,
