AE Alchemists was officially formed in 1992 as a single proprietorship business entity under its former name, The Alchemists. It has served the requirements of various pharmaceutical and trading companies through its supply of USP publications and reference standards.

The name AE Alchemists was officially adopted in 2012 when it was converted to a corporate entity with family members as incorporators. The founder and its managing director, Alfonso SD Alipio, have ensured the trademark core focus of the corporation by combining speed, after-sales service, and accuracy of delivery.

Aside from the complete line of USP publications and reference standards, AE Alchemists likewise supply products from European Pharmacopeia (EP), World Health Organization (WHO), and British Pharmacopeia (BP). It also supplies a myriad of current technical books and references from around the world.
