- About Cinnamed Diba
Cinnamed Diba Company started its humble beginnings in 2007 as a pharmaceutical exports company dedicated to international sales of Iranian pharmaceuticals to Iraq and Afghanistan but it has evolved into a wholesale trade company in various fields of medical and laboratory products with partners and offices beyond its birthplace. We started our expansion in 2008 with establishing a subsidiary in Iraq under the registered name of Cinnamed Company in Kurdistan Region of Iraq. The next expansion happened in 2011 when our US partner established our sister company in Florida, USA under the registered name of Miami Impex LLC. This US presence proved very effective and exceeded our expectations in boosting our US-Iraq trade and currently the sales of Miami Impex to Iraq overshadows our Iran-Iraq trade. Our scale of operation and expertise enable us to supply our customers with affordable prices for the right quality that suits the market we intend to have a share in.
INTERNATIONAL PRESENCE
Our subsidiary in Iraq has worked in the fields of pharmaceuticals, medical supplies and laboratory equipments and reagents. During several years of its operation in Iraq we sold not only products from Iranian origin in Iraq but we also either re-exported from Iran or directly purchased through our subsidiary for Iraq market products from US, UK, Germany, China, Turkey, India, Italy and other countries.
Through our partner company in US we were able to launch our own brands of nutritional supplements, Vitanex & Life Vitamins, for Iraq and Iran markets respectively. Vitanex is marketed in Iraq since 2015 and it is a well-known brand over there with a range of commonly used nutritional supplements. We used to sell products of US company Universal Nutrition in sports and general lines since 2012 and we decided to draw on the lessons we learnt from selling their products in establishing our own line of Vitanex nutritional supplements through contract manufacturing.

The company also owns 90% of the shares of the Farabi Medical Laboratory in Erbil, Iraq that is the main genetics center in North Iraq. We established the lab in 2013 and despite falling short of our expectations it is the referral center of the region and has exclusive agreements with Centogene of Germany and BGI Genomics of Hong Kong for advanced genetic tests for Iraq.
