EBOS Group CEO John Cullity said: “To be selected as a trusted partner by Chemist Warehouse Group reinforces our capital investment strategy and reflects the efficiencies we have made over a number of years to our operations.
“It’s a great endorsement of EBOS’s wholesale pharmacy business, and reflects the high level of expertise and service standards that we offer the industry more broadly.
“Continuing to grow our Healthcare business remains a high priority for the Group and partnering with Chemist Warehouse Group will be a natural progression of that. We are confident that EBOS will generate an acceptable return on capital from this new business.”
The company’s chairman Mark Waller said: “Today’s announcement is a strong validation of that investment and we’re very well equipped to meet growing demand across the entire industry, including from our existing customers, and continue to uphold the high standards we set.”
