Located in Dublin, Ireland, United Drug is a diversified, global healthcare services company with interests in contract sales and marketing services, drug wholesaling, medical equipment, packaging and specialist healthcare delivery (e.g. travel vaccinations). The organization is listed on both the Dublin and London stock exchanges and generates annual revenue in excess of $2 billion.
The US division of United Drug is comprised of four companies: Ashfield Healthcare, Alliance Healthcare Information, Sharp Corporation, and Universal Procon. In total, United Drug employs approximately 1,000 employees across the United States.
Since its inception in the US in 2003, Ashfield Healthcare has strived to emulate the company’s European success by bringing a fresh approach to the US contract services industry. For many years contract houses have fought to shake off the perception of being simply numbers-driven. Increasingly, clients now recognize that at Ashfield Healthcare, quality is a critically embedded aspect of everything we do. Through organic growth and the acquisition of US-based healthcare service organizations, Ashfield has been able to develop a unique range of personal and nonpersonal sales and marketing solutions.
Ashfield Healthcare’s business base continues to grow steadily. The Contracts Sales and Marketing Services Division currently employs field-based sales professionals, nurse advisors, and call-center personnel, and partners with more than 30 pharmaceutical and healthcare companies. These companies range from large global organizations to the smaller, emerging operations seeking a platform to develop a commercial operation without the need to invest immediately in expanding their infrastructure.
