Victory Group Distribution Networks

     Beginning with distribution centers in 12 locations nationwide and 270 physical distribution bases, the Suzuken group has established a distribution system with an extensive inventory, ensuring that stock does not run out. In preparation for emergency situations such as earthquakes or other large-scale disasters or outbreaks of new strains of influenza, we work on maintaining a stable supply system on a daily basis.Full-line wholesalers purchase, inventory, and sell a manufacturer’s complete pharmaceutical product line unless otherwise designated. They service a diverse set of pharmacy outlets. These locations include outpatient outlets (such as independent drugstores, chain drugstores, supermarkets with pharmacies, mass merchants with pharmacies and mail pharmacies) and institutional, non-retail healthcare facilities (such as hospitals and physician offices). Retail, mail and specialty pharmacies account for three-quarters of wholesaler revenues.

• Specialty distributors sell specialty pharmaceuticals primarily to physician-owned/operated clinics, hospitals and hospital-owned outpatient clinics. Independent physician offices and outpatient clinics were the largest customer group for specialty distributors
• Specialty drugs are sold both by full-line wholesalers and specialty distributors. The biggest specialty distributors are divisions of the Big Three wholesalers. These include the distributors in AmerisourceBergen Corporation’s Specialty Group (Oncology Supply, ASD Healthcare, and Besse Medical), Specialty Solutions (a business unit of Cardinal Health) and McKesson Specialty Health (a business unit of McKesson Corporation).
