Company Background:
Solco Healthcare U.S., headquartered in Somerset, New Jersey, is an industry leader in marketing and distributing generic pharmaceuticals.

Our products are manufactured in state-of-the-art GMP facilities in China and in the United States, using the highest quality assurance standards that meet the FDA regulatory requirements.
In 2012, Solco Healthcare US was acquired by Prinston Pharmaceutical from Legacy Pharmaceuticals. Solco was a new breed of generic pharmaceutical distributor, founded in 2008, relying on key development partners to launch its products. Solco quickly created a name for itself by offering value driven products with excellent service and supply. It was these key qualities and a shared vision of offering greater access to affordable medications that convinced Prinston to acquire Solco.
Solco’s growth within the last five years has been impressive. IQVIA IMS Health has regularly listed Solco as one of the Top 10 fastest growing generic companies. This achievement is a result of a simple philosophy: consistently supply your customers with high-quality, value-added products at reasonable prices.

Together we strive to offer greater access to affordable medications that you can trust.
