Unipharm Wholesale Drugs Ltd. is the only wholesale drug cooperative in Canada, committed to the success and sustainability of independent pharmacies.
Founded in 1980 and headquartered in Richmond, British Columbia, Unipharm operates under a cooperative ownership model governed by an elected Board of Directors. This structure ensures that the needs and interests of member pharmacies remain at the core of all business decisions.
For over four decades, Unipharm has served as a trusted full-line, full-service wholesaler, providing a comprehensive range of products including pharmaceuticals, over-the-counter medications, home health care supplies, health and beauty products, confectionery, and private label items.
By offering the flexibility of tailored purchasing alongside the strength of collective buying power, Unipharm helps independent pharmacies remain competitive in an increasingly consolidated market.
Unipharm is more than a supplier—it is a strategic partner. The company is known for its award-winning customer service, responsive support, and deep industry expertise. Through customized business solutions and ongoing collaboration, Unipharm supports pharmacy owners and operators in enhancing patient care, strengthening business operations, and fostering long-term growth.
Unipharm: Supporting Health and Community
Unipharm is deeply committed to supporting the health and well-being of the communities we serve. In 2009, we established the Unipharm & Medicine Centre Pharmacies Charitable Foundation (UMC Charity – umccharity.com), a Canadian registered charity created to help Unipharm Member Pharmacies extend their impact through donation matching, grant opportunities, and community-based initiatives.
Beyond our member support, we proudly contribute to a range of health and social causes through financial donations and active employee involvement. Organizations we have supported include the ALS Society, BC Cancer Foundation, Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation, Richmond Food Bank, and Covenant House.
At Unipharm, giving back is an integral part of our mission to support comprehensive, community-centred pharmaceutical care.
Unipharm remains steadfast in its mission to empower independent pharmacies—advancing community health care through cooperative strength, strategic support, and a shared commitment to excellence.
Join our network and turn your pharmacy vision into reality.
