The SDP Legacy
Building a Legacy of Trust and Excellence in Manufacturing
Southern Drugs & Pharmaceuticals (SDP) has been a trusted name in contract manufacturing, delivering world-class solutions to some of the most renowned global brands. Our journey began in 1991, when we partnered with GlaxoSmithKline (GSK)to manufacture ENO, a brand that millions trust every day. This enduring partnership is a testament to our uncompromising commitment to quality, precision, and operational excellence.
In 1999, we established our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Rajahmundry, Andhra Pradesh, scaling up our production capabilities to meet growing demand. Over the years, we have continued to invest in cutting-edge technology, automation, and sustainable practices, reinforcing our position as an industry leader in high-speed sachet and bottle production.
With an annual manufacturing capacity of 4,800 metric tonnes, producing 2.5 million sachets and 100,000 bottles per day, SDP has set benchmarks in efficiency, reliability, and global compliance standards. Our expertise extends beyond just production—we have pioneered cost-saving packaging innovations, implemented robotic automation for enhanced efficiency, and strengthened QMS with data integrity practices.
The SDP Legacy is built on a foundation of trust, excellence, and future-driven innovation. As we continue to evolve, our focus remains on empowering global brands, optimizing manufacturing processes, and setting new industry standards.
