As part of a broader strategic push across Southeast Asia, Buymed’s high-level meeting with Rohto-Mentholatum in Cambodia has forged a powerful alliance. This partnership is set to accelerate the growth of V.Rohto and the Rohto cosmetics portfolio, demonstrating Buymed’s role as a unifying force in the region.
Phnom Penh, Cambodia – In a significant move to create a more connected and efficient healthcare landscape in Southeast Asia, Buymed is executing a dual-front strategy, driving pivotal partnerships simultaneously in both Thailand and Cambodia. A recent high-level meeting with the leadership of Rohto-Mentholatum (Cambodia) in Phnom Penh marks a key milestone in this ambitious regional campaign, laying the groundwork for accelerated growth and enhanced brand value.

A Regional Strategy for Mutual Growth
The discussion was centered on a powerful, mutually beneficial strategy. Buymed will deploy its formidable promotional capabilities to boost specific Rohto products, and in return, will secure more advantageous terms for Rohto’s key, high-demand SKUs. This model, now being rolled
out across the region, creates a powerful engine for growth, ensuring Buymed and its partners achieve strategic dominance together.
The Buymed Ecosystem: A Gateway to Regional Success
Buymed is uniquely positioned to empower Rohto’s growth ambitions in Cambodia and beyond, leveraging a powerful ecosystem that serves as a single gateway to the broader Southeast Asian market. This includes:
• Real-Time Regional Data: Providing Rohto with a unified view of market trends, sales performance, and inventory across borders, enabling a cohesive and agile regional strategy.
• Innovative In-Store Solutions: Deploying best-in-class display and merchandising strategies, honed from experience across multiple markets, to maximize brand visibility for V.Rohto and the cosmetics portfolio.
• Standardized Training Programs: Rolling out comprehensive training for pharmacy staff across the region, creating a consistent and high-impact brand message.
This integrated, cross-border approach ensures that a brand’s success in one market can be rapidly replicated and scaled in another.
A United Leadership Front
The strategic alignment was solidified with Rohto-Mentholatum (Cambodia)’s key leadership, including Mr. Chap Chhayheang (Managing Director), Mr. Our Sovannara (Sales Manager), and Mr. Som Piseth (Senior Medical Channel Manager). Their enthusiastic adoption of this regional vision is a testament to the power and potential of a unified market approach.

The New Paradigm: From National Player to Regional Leader
This collaboration is more than a partnership; it is a clear demonstration of a new paradigm in regional market expansion. It proves that by aligning with Buymed, ambitious brands can transcend national borders and execute a seamless, powerful, and unified strategy across Southeast Asia.
For other market leaders watching from the sidelines, the message is clear. The era of isolated, country-by-country strategies is over. The future belongs to those who can harness the power of a connected, regional ecosystem. Buymed is building that ecosystem, and the opportunity to become a regional leader is now. Join us in shaping the future of healthcare in Southeast Asia.
