About Us

In 1994 United Pharmacists Co-Op merged with Allied Pharmaceutical Distributors (APD) to form the UniPhar Group. APD and UPC were both founded by pharmacists in 1972 and 1967 respectively.
 
Today, the roots of the UniPhar Group remain in community pharmacy and ownership is still held by community pharmacists. 
 
The company currently employs in excess of 600 people. Our success has come as a result of identifying and meeting the needs of our customer base. The UniPhar Group wholesale depots in Dublin, Cork, Limerick and Sligo meaning the company has now built the strongest wholesale depot structure in the Irish market. This investment will allow us to further improve the quality of our service and support to community pharmacy. 
 
Our Company Vision is: to be recognised as a major, progressive, innovative pharmaceutical wholesaler protecting the interests of community pharmacy in Ireland. We will be characterised by our strength, stability and significant growth achieved through excellence and quality of service and the professionalism of our employees.
