Therefore, competition in the pharmaceutical wholesale business if getting fiercer, with the two companies at the top neck and neck in the race for the first placet in the last few years, as well.
This is the not the first time the two have traded places. After several years of Mediplus in the lead, Fildas climbed to the first place by revenue in 2019. Czech Republic’s Penta Investments-owned Mediplus reclaimed the top spot in 2021, lost it in 2022 and got it back in 2023.
Close behind are Alliance Healthcare (formerly Farmexpert) and Farmexim, each with more than RON4 billion revenue in 2023.
