MEDIPAL was formed through the April 2000 merger of three pharmaceutical wholesalers with over a century of experience, the oldest of which began business operations in 1898. The MEDIPAL Group has sustained its growth through the expansion of its business scale and through innovation.
Today, the Company provides services throughout Japan through a network of more than 300 bases–in locations as far north as Hokkaido and as far south as Okinawa.
Regarding a range of products that includes pharmaceuticals, medical equipment, clinical diagnostics, cosmetics, daily necessities, and raw ingredients for food processing, we are carrying out our social mission of reliably delivering products essential to people’s safety and peace of mind, when they need them, even during emergencies.
We have been carrying out this mission for over a century now, and we have no intention of changing.
MEDIPAL's business links manufacturers with medical institutions and retailers.
For those of us in the wholesale business, the foundation of our business
is to safely deliver required products at the required time in just the
required amount supporting people's lives and lifestyles in both
ordinary and extraordinary times.
The MEDIPAL Group's network is expanding across the nation.We have business locations across the country, so that we can do business in ways that are familiar anywhere.
