Manrex Ltd. celebrates 50 years of global business.
Founded in 1973, in Winnipeg, by John H. Webster, Manrex Ltd., was one of the first companies to introduce bubble-pack medication packaging, for nursing homes and home care, to the global marketplace. You’ll likely recognize these bubble packs if your senior family members receive their medications in bubble packs from their pharmacy. Our Mission is to “Help health care providers save lives by eliminating medication errors.” Our Vision is “To be the leading provider of innovative and diverse medication error prevention products that increase customer efficiency and provide them with more time for patient care.”
Manrex successfully transitioned to second generation in 1991 when siblings Fiona Webster Mourant and John L. Webster purchased the company. Today in 2023 it is very rewarding to note that we are moving to third generation with Wade Mourant becoming a shareholder. We are proud to say that we have always serviced our global customers from our head office which has been located in Winnipeg, Manitoba since our inception in 1973. We were very privileged to have the Mayor of Winnipeg, Scott Gillingham, visit our facility to help celebrate our 50th anniversary and present Manrex with a Community Service Award. We are very honoured by this recognition.
Manrex is a global company having had success across Canada as well as in Ireland, the United Kingdom, France, Spain, Portugal, Germany, the Netherlands, Australia, Hong Kong, South Korea, and the United States.
Other Manrex product lines include our market leading ergonomic, height adjustable medication delivery carts and medication crushing devices such as our automated PowderCrush (which reduces repetitive strain injuries for nurses). Both product lines are for use in nursing homes. We also supply automated pill counting devices for use in pharmacy. We are very proud to say that these proprietary products are all manufactured and assembled here in Manitoba. Manrex Ltd. is also the exclusive Canadian representative for various pharmacy automation products including: Servilocker which is a 24/7 prescription self retrieval system by patients, Pentapack which is a machine designed for bulk medication packaging for use in hospitals; Hang Rx which simplifies workflow and reduces potential for errors in high volume pharmacy dispensaries; and the MDM (medication detection machine) for verifying and reviewing medication rolls prepared in pharmacy.
Manrex and its team members have received various awards throughout the years including; Outstanding Manitoba Ambassador of the Year by the Manitoba Chambers of Commerce; Family Enterprise of the Year for Manitoba by the Canadian Association of Family Enterprises; Manitoba Woman Entrepreneur of the Year- International Trade & Overall (Fiona Webster Mourant), and were finalists in the Canadian Woman Entrepreneur of the Year Award and the Ernst and Young Entrepreneur of the Year.
