Alliance Healthcare

Alliance Healthcare, operating as a massive, wholly-owned subsidiary of the global giant Cencora (formerly AmerisourceBergen), is a dominant, deeply established pharmaceutical wholesaler and healthcare distributor operating primarily across Europe. The company boasts a tremendous, highly robust logistical infrastructure, operating an extensive network of distribution centers that seamlessly supply tens of thousands of pharmacies, hospitals, and healthcare providers across multiple countries, including strongholds in the UK, France, and Spain.

The organization is particularly renowned for its unwavering support of independent community pharmacies. They actively operate the Alphega Pharmacy network, a massive, highly successful pan-European network of independently owned pharmacists. Alliance provides these independent members with crucial branding, advanced IT solutions, optimized purchasing power, and comprehensive clinical training, empowering them to effectively compete with large retail chains.

Furthermore, Alliance Healthcare offers highly sophisticated contract logistics and specialized pre-wholesale services directly to pharmaceutical manufacturers, handling everything from complex cold chain storage for sensitive biologics to nationwide product launches and clinical trial supply through its Alcura division.

By seamlessly integrating massive wholesale capabilities with deeply localized, community-level pharmacy support, Alliance Healthcare plays an absolutely vital role in ensuring equitable, rapid access to vital medications across the diverse European healthcare landscape.
