\nThe investments, including opening of a second national distribution center, support a more resilient and efficient pharmaceutical supply chain<\/i>\n<\/p>\n

CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Cencora<\/a>, a global pharmaceutical solutions company, today announced plans to invest $1 billion through 2030 to bolster and expand its pharmaceutical distribution network in the United States. The investments \u2014 headlined by the opening of its second national distribution center in Ohio and an expanded presence in Alabama and California \u2014 will increase Cencora\u2019s capacity, improve efficiency and enhance the resilience of its national distribution network, strengthening the company\u2019s ability to support its customers\u2019 evolving needs.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cHealthcare providers rely on us to provide efficient access to the medications their patients need, and we\u2019re able to deliver on that promise because of the robust distribution infrastructure and operations we\u2019ve built through decades of investment,\u201d said Bob Mauch, President & CEO of Cencora<\/b>. \u201cThis investment underscores our commitment to and role in building a resilient pharmaceutical supply chain and in ensuring patients across the United States have timely and reliable access to prescribed medications, where and when they need them.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nOpening a second national distribution center in Ohio<\/b>
As part of its investments in distribution infrastructure, operations and digital capabilities, Cencora plans to open a second national distribution center, which is expected to be fully operational by spring 2027. The 530,000 square-foot facility, located in Harrison, Ohio, will significantly increase Cencora\u2019s storage capacity and throughput, enhancing its ability to meet growing customer demand. The facility will feature advanced automation technology, including robotic handling systems, artificial intelligence (AI) and autonomous mobile robots, increasing the efficiency and reliability of supply chain processes.\n<\/p>\n

\nIn addition, Cencora plans to expand its presence on the West Coast with the opening of a 430,000-square-foot distribution center in Fontana, California, which is expected to be fully operational by fall 2026. The new, highly automated facility is nearly double the size of the current distribution center and will feature automation and advanced technology solutions.\n<\/p>\n

\nExpanded cold chain capacity to support growth in specialty<\/b>
A leader in specialty pharmaceutical services and distribution, Cencora is expanding its distribution center in Dothan, Alabama \u2014 one of three facilities across its network dedicated to specialty medicines.\n<\/p>\n

\nSpecialty pharmaceuticals, which are used to treat complex, chronic or rare medical conditions, are expected to account for 70% of new medicines launched through 2027, according to recent reports<\/a>. The growth in specialty medicines is mirrored by the increased demand for specialized supply chain logistics. Research shows half of all products<\/a> launched globally through 2027 are expected to require cold chain storage \u2014 up from 37% of products between 2013 and 2017.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe Dothan expansion \u2014 which is expected to be completed by fall 2026 \u2014 will increase the facility\u2019s refrigerated storage capacity by 500% and its frozen storage capacity by 200%, enhancing Cencora\u2019s ability to handle complex specialty medications and its operational resilience.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cWe\u2019re committed to delivering an industry-leading customer experience \u2014 and that starts with listening to our customers, anticipating their needs and making strategic investments to ensure we can provide the exceptional service they expect,\u201d said Rich Tremonte, Executive Vice President and President, U.S. Pharmaceuticals and Animal Health at Cencora<\/b>. \u201cAs demand continues to grow and more specialty pharmaceuticals reach the market, the investments we\u2019re making today will strengthen our ability to support our customers\u2019 current and future needs, enabling them to continue delivering high-quality patient care in their communities.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nThrough its network of distribution centers in the United States, Cencora ships more than five million medications and healthcare products to tens of thousands of healthcare providers every day.\n<\/p>\n
