Darman Ara is a leading private pharmaceutical company in Iran, which was established in 2000 and started its activities by registering and importing Biotest AG and then B. Braun products. It later expanded its portfolio into nutritional supplements, medical devices, and drugs by acting as an agent for companies like Nestle Health Science. Darman Ara is the founder of the first private plasmapheresis centers in Iran (2004) through a joint venture with Biotest AG for the collection, contract manufacturing, and importation of plasma-derived drugs such as immunoglobulins, antihaemophilia factors, and albumin into Iran. This resulted in Darman Ara gaining a remarkable reputation in importing plasma-derived drugs in the local market.
