Piping Rock Health Products recently took an award from McKesson back to its Ronkonkoma, N.Y. headquarters. The company was named CPG Supplier of the Year by the pharmaceutical distributor at the McKesson Pharmaceutical National Sales Conference for achieving triple-digit sales increases through McKesson and launching a successful consumer education program.
“We are extremely excited to be honored by McKesson with this award,” said Kimberly Vigliante, senior vice president of wholesale sales and marketing at Piping Rock. “I’d like to thank the many hard working and dedicated associates in both companies that came together, sharing the same passion, to achieve greatness.”
McKesson noted that Piping Rock’s recognition was meant to honor its work as a CPG supplier that provides resources supporting McKesson customers’ understanding of the vitamin and alternative health categories.
“Our pharmaceutical distribution network depends on quality partners,” said Chris Savage, vice president of category management at McKesson. “It’s an honor to work alongside Piping Rock to help patients, support our customers and drive innovation.”
Vigliante noted, “At Piping Rock Health Products, we work closely with our partners to identify opportunities and provide innovative products to support their growth strategies. Our goal is to provide high-quality, innovative products that not only meet consumers’ needs, but drive foot traffic to the wellness aisle. By doing in house what many others outsource, we can guarantee quality, potency, and bring new, trending products to market quickly. This allows us to better support McKesson and its customers.”
