Who We
Are:
Kohl & Frisch is
Canada’s leading national distributor in the healthcare industry. As the
essential link between pharmaceutical manufacturers and healthcare providers,
we meet the needs of all our partners with effective distribution and service
solutions. Through excellence in technology and innovation, we combine what
manufacturers want with what our customers need by providing a safe and
reliable source of products at competitive prices.
Kohl & Frisch is
a proudly Canadian, family-owned company that has been in business since 1916.
We’ve grown and prospered because we believe that our success is tied to the
success of our customers. At Kohl & Frisch, we treat each customer as an
individual and tailor our services to match unique business needs. We never
choose short-term gain over long-term partnership and, over the years, we’ve
built strong relationships with people who share these values.
As Canada's only nationally
owned full-line distributor, Kohl & Frisch is strategically located in six
centres across Canada – Vancouver, Calgary, Regina, Toronto, Montreal and
Moncton- with further growth looming following its March 2013 announcement of
an acquisition of AmerisourceBergen Canada, a distribution company with
operations in seven provinces. Currently with over 600,000 square feet of
active warehousing, we are fully equipped to service leading chain retailers,
independent pharmacies, clinics and hospitals across the country for all of
their Rx, OTC, HHC and front-shop needs.
