Our Story

Sanovel’s journey began in 1976, with the establishment of Galenos Pharmaceutical Distribution Company by our Founder, Pharmacist Erol Toksöz.

In 1983, he founded Sanovel, driven by a visionary outlook and a strong belief in the future of Türkiye’s pharmaceutical industry. This vision laid the foundation for our evolution into one of Türkiye’s leading pharmaceutical companies and, over time, into a globally recognized player.

Our journey has been shaped by our Founder’s vision, foresight, and aspirations for the future, above all by his dream of creating lasting value for his country. At Sanovel, we have continued to pursue that dream. Rooted in Türkiye and strengthened by our heritage, we have grown into a strong organization with an expanding global presence. Throughout this journey, we have remained true to the values we hold dear and the culture that defines us, working with dedication to advance the health and well-being of communities throughout their lives.

Our journey began more than four decades ago with a vision to become a leading global pharmaceutical company dedicated to advancing longer, healthier lives through science..

Our logo embodies the three core elements that continue to guide us every day: Science. People. Values.

The triangular icon symbolizes the strength we derive from these three pillars and stands alongside our name, Sanovel, as a reflection of our identity.

Representing stability and continuous progress, the triangle reflects our pioneering spirit and our commitment to innovation. The deep blue colour of our logo symbolizes the trust, reliability, stability and professionalism that define our approach to healthcare. Our carefully designed logotype combines bold lines with refined curves, reflecting both the scientific rigor that underpins our work and the agility that enables us to embrace technological advances and continuously evolve.
