Every step came after an obstacle
AVAN was started by people who spent years on the other side of the desk, in procurement at pharmaceutical plants, where one late shipment or one incomplete COA can wreck a month of production planning. The road here was not a straight line.
Started with made-to-order imports
The first excipient shipments were imported to order for two pharmaceutical plants, with no warehouse and no fixed range.
Incorporation and licensing
AVAN was registered as an official importer of pharmaceutical raw materials and opened its file with European suppliers.
Own warehouse and quality control
A standard warehouse with temperature and humidity monitoring went live, and per-batch sampling entered the process.
A fixed nine-product range
Nine high-demand materials held in permanent stock at published prices, ready to ship from the Tehran warehouse.
The difference shows on inspection day
A good supplier earns its place the day an inspector asks for paperwork, or the line is waiting on material.
Analysis per batch, not per product
The certificate of analysis belongs to the exact batch number you receive, not to a generic product sample.
Authenticity and traceability
The plant, the country and the shipping route are stated openly for every consignment and can be verified.
Standard warehousing
Warehouse temperature and humidity are monitored and logged continuously; sensitive materials are held under dedicated conditions.
Shipped from Tehran stock
Products held in stock are loaded within 48 working hours. No waiting on customs clearance.
Paperwork ready upfront
COA, MSDS, certificate of origin and, where needed, the DMF are in the file from the start, not on request.
Technical support
A technical specialist is available to help pick the right grade for your formulation or review a substitute.
From enquiry to first shipment
Send us the details and a specialist will come back with a proforma invoice, delivery time and the documents included. Price depends on tonnage, grade and lead time.
