About Sami Labs Ltd.

“The vision of a research scientist and a passionate entrepreneur takes on social and commercial expressions.” This, in short, explains the genesis and growth of Sami Labs”

Dr. Muhammed Majeed established Sabinsa Corporation during the year 1988 in the state of New Jersey, USA with the objective of importing and marketing generic drugs into the US for the drug molecules coming off patent. Very soon he introduced into the US market a new line of products based on Indian herbal plants. It was Dr. Majeed who introduced to the Americans that Ayurveda from India can act as a validated nutraceutical supplements to their various ailments. The persistent efforts made by Dr. Majeed in the early nineties in the field of Ayurveda did reap benefits among the Americans. To facilitate the increased demand for innovative application-based products, Sami Labs Limited (formerly known as Sami Chemicals & Extracts Limited) was set up in 1991 in Bangalore as a research and development facility. Today the main thrust and focus of Sami is on new product development and market oriented research. To cater to the expanding global market, Sami Labs has fully owned subsidiaries in USA, Europe, Japan, Australia, Malaysia, Philippines, Vietnam, UAE, China, Russia and South Korea.
