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.

Group turnover has grown to over € 705 million and the company employs in excess of 500 people. Our success has come as a result of identifying and meeting the needs of our customer base.
The UniPhar Group has wholesale depots located 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.
