Dona group includes the Dona pharmacy chain, which consists of 337 units countrywide, and wholesaler Dona Logistica.
The wholesale division balanced the group’s sales last year as pharmacies were more challenged during the pandemic, said CEO Mihaela Ungureanu.
Dona is the fourth largest pharmacy chain in Romania after Catena, Dr.Max (Sensiblu), and Help Net. Its wholesale division is among the top five players in Romania.
In 2020, despite the pandemic putting acquisitions on hold, Dona added 35 new units to its chain.
“Despite everything, we managed to stick to our investment plans, even though it was slightly delayed. The group invested RON28 million in the regional warehouse in Cluj, increasing the number of operated licenses, remodeling pharmacies, process automation and an increased transport fleet for Dona Logistică,” said Ungureanu.
