During that time, the core business of the company was importation and retailing of human pharmaceutical drugs and medical devices. However, the desire of the founders was to go into manufacturing of pharmaceuticals. In 1978, small mixing and compounding unit was started as Plot 5, Travin House, William Street, Kampala. Within one year, and due to rapid expansion, the manufacturing unit was moved to 1.2 acres at Bweyogerere on Jinja Road, twelve (12) Kilometers from Kampala. The principal place of business and registered office is plot 65, Kakajjo road, Bweyogerere. In the year 1982, the business name was changed to Medipharm Industries (E.A) Limited.

Advanced pharmaceutical manufacturing was not realized until 1984, when building modifications were made and procurement of critical production and quality control were done. This was made possible through funding from the International Development Agency (IDA), through Uganda Commercial Bank.

Today, the Nosak group is a key player in the Nigerian economy, offering vital services in retail, manufacturing, logistics, finance, agriculture, real estate, international trade, petroleum and health care thanks to a deep understanding of the Nigerian market and a network of local and international alliances.

It all started with Nosak Agencies Limited in 1984, the pioneer company in the group which specialized in the importation and marketing of ethanol. Today, it has grown and evolved into the investment arm of Nosak group. The second chapter of the Nosak story is a somewhat natural progression to the manufacturing of ethanol and other industrial and consumer based chemicals through Nosak Distilleries. Incorporated in 2001, today, Nosak Distilleries is the largest manufacturer of ethanol in Nigeria with a storage facility of 24 million liters and currently controls more than 65% of the domestic supply market.

To further capture the market for industrial chemicals, Zex Standard Chemicals Limited was established to import and trade chemicals like ethanol and other pharmaceutical raw materials.
