MEFAL PUBLIC LTD remains firmly committed to its ongoing modernization and to strengthening its cooperative model, with a continued focus on security, stability, and value for its members.
As part of this strategic direction, we have recently implemented significant changes to our Articles of Association. These changes now allow shareholders who retire and cease their professional activity to receive payment from the sale of their shares within a four-month period—enhancing the immediacy and transparency of the process.
A notable example of this new approach is Ms. Viera Flouri, who joined our cooperative in 2014, acquiring 4,000 shares with a total value of €10,000 (at €2.50 per share). In 2025, upon her retirement, she sold her shares for a total of €34,560 (at €8.64 per share).
This represents an impressive Return on Investment (ROI) of 345%, showcasing the substantial and long-term value of participating in our cooperative.
Beyond the financial benefit, Ms. Flouri fully leveraged MEFAL’s support and services throughout the years. This enabled her to provide high-quality healthcare services to her pharmacy’s patients and to strengthen the bond of trust with her local community.
Our philosophy is clear:
Pharmacists, united through a modern and dynamic cooperative, can achieve far more than they could individually.
For us, the cooperative is not merely a procurement and distribution mechanism. It is a living community of professionals operating with vision—offering continuous support, growth opportunities, and long-term value to each of its members.
Ms. Flouri’s experience is a tangible example that being part of MEFAL is not just a business decision, but a targeted strategic investment in the future of every pharmacist.
With our sights set on the future, we continue to stand by our members with consistency and care, reaffirming the power of collaboration in the pharmaceutical sector.
We extend our sincere thanks to Ms. Viera Flouri for her longstanding contribution and wish her every success and happiness in this new chapter after her retirement!
