Smith for $815 million, a transaction that is expected to close, pending Federal Trade Commission review, in early 2018.

The company’s long-term growth and success is what led to the recent announcement that pharmaceutical product and service provider AmerisourceBergen will purchase H.D. Smith customers include retail and specialty pharmacies, long-term care facilities, institutional and hospital systems, and independent physicians and clinics. It provides full-line distribution of brand, generic and specialty drugs, as well as other services for manufacturers and health care providers. Smith is a health care distribution company with locations across the United States. “We’ve always taken pride in the talent we hire from central Illinois, or recruit to live and work in the area.” “Our associates are what make this company successful,” said Smith, the son of founder H. “So, whether you are customer service taking calls from pharmacists, interacting with one of our manufacturer partners, or you are on our finance team sending reports to fellow associates, you can still provide that extraordinary experience to whoever you are working with.” “We have a focus throughout the company on providing an extraordinary customer experience in everything we do,” said Dale Smith Jr., chairman and chief executive officer of H. But it’s no secret how the Springfield-based health care distribution business achieved that status. Smith is America’s largest, privately held national wholesale distributor in the pharmaceutical industry. Founded in Springfield in 1954, the drug distribution company sells for $815 million
