Marhaba Laboratories (Pvt.) Limited is the brainchild of Hakeem Muhammad Usman. Its inception goes back to the days when he himself was a student at Tibbia College Lahore. Greatly inspired by the rich past of Oriental pharmacy and worried over its contemporary downfall, Hakeem Usman contemplated on evolving this noble profession of service to the mankind once again.

It was never too late to accomplish his dreams, and due to his pervasive work into making this profession a credible one, Hakeem Usman finally succeeded in transforming his vision into reality and founded Marhaba with the help of his siblings in July 1975.

Soon after its inception, the institute started working on researching on herbal medicines and other natural products to produce result-oriented pharmaceutical medicines and natural dietary supplements.
