Saidal was created in April 1982 following the restructuring of the Algerian Central Pharmacy. In 1985, it changed its name to become Saidal.

In 1989, Saidal became an economic public company, one of the first national company to acquire the status of joint stock company in 1993. In 1997, Saidal was transformed into an industrial group, which Biotic, Pharmal and Antibiotical were attached.[2]

In March 2022, the group announced the launch of its first bioequivalence center called “Equival”.[3]
