Ayrton Drugs Manufacturing Limited

Ayrton Drug Manufacturing Limited is a Ghanaian pharmaceuticals company formed in September 24, 1965. From humble beginnings at Kokomlemle, with a staff strength of only 10, it moved to its current location on the Abeka Road, Tesano in Accra in 1969. Over the years, despite the adverse economic conditions, Ayrton has kept alive the hope of becoming a force in the pharmaceutical industry in Ghana with about 30 product lines. AYRTON adapted quickly to the dynamics of the local business environment and with careful planning, managed to substantially upgrade its plant, machinery and product lines to its present status.

The business entity was listed on the stock index of the Ghana Stock Exchange, the GSE All-Share Index. The factory of Ayrton Drugs is based in Tesano, a suburb of Accra. The company's product portfolio included anti-hypertensives, hematinics, dermatological preparations, antibiotics, dewormers, pain killers and anti-inflammatory drugs. In February 2010 Adcock Ingram, a South African pharmaceutical company acquired 66% shares in the company.

In January 2020, Ayrton Drug Manufacturing Limited and two other domestic pharmaceutical companies, Dannex Limited and Starwin Products Limited, had already merged and listed on the GSE as DAS Pharma.
