Fildas Trading, the wholesaler established by entrepreneur Anca Vlad, ended 2019 with RON4.2 billion revenue, an increase of 16% on the previous year, the data its officials supplied to ZF show. Mediplus, the previous leader, posted RON4 billion revenue in 2019, 5% higher than in 2018.
Fildas first entered among the top three wholesalers in 2017, when it beat Farmexim. It later climbed one more place, after having overtaken Farmexpert (currently Alliance Healthcare) by revenue in 2018.
Pharmaceutical wholesale has been shaken by a number of bankruptcies after 2010, leaving room for other companies to become stronger.
