Source-derived summary

Orion Pharma is a pharmaceuticals company in Bangladesh. It is part of the Orion group. It was founded in 1965.

History

Before January 2011 Orion Pharmacy was called Orion laboratories. In 2013 Orion Pharma went public by floating its shares in the Dhaka Stock Exchange. It had submitted its IPO prospectus in 2011 to regulators. From 2016 Orion started to offer 20 medical scholarship as part of its corporate social responsibility. In February 2017 it borrowed 34 million dollar from the German BHF-Bank to finance expansion.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Orion Pharma Ltd.” as bangladeshi pharmaceutical company. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA useful synthesis for locating the documentary relationships between formal authority, participants and affected communities. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1965, 2011, 2013, 2016—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1965. The account is most persuasive where Orion, Pharma and Bangladeshi can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the history & society register because the source frames it as bangladeshi pharmaceutical company. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

The record creator and administrative purpose are central evidence, because official documentation reflects both action and institutional priorities. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 3, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7102792. VIAF identifies the subject as 143652208. The Library of Congress control number is nb2010002500. 3 of 4 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1965, 2011, 2013 and 2016.

Critical limits

Institutional narratives can privilege the records that survived while minimizing voices that were never formally collected. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Compare institutional narratives with records created by participants and affected communities. Dates and formal titles are useful anchors, but not substitutes for context.
