About us

The Abacus Medicine Group is built on a strong purpose. We are highly conscious of our contribution to society. This has been the case ever since the family business was founded by father and son in 2004.
Today, the Abacus Medicine Group is a large and growing entity, where diversity is treasured. We work as a team, and our commercial activities provide jobs, careers, and livelihoods for hundreds of people in dozens of countries.
As the Abacus Medicine Group grows, so does our societal impact. We recognize our obligation to our stakeholders and to the wider society. This is reflected in our Sustainability programs.
We are innovative, dedicated, and we care. We improve global healthcare through better access to medicine.
In the Abacus Medicine Group, we are proud to serve a purpose beyond ourselves.
When we compete in the market, we improve availability and reduce prices of life-critical medicines, so they become more widely available. Our core parallel distribution business helps us achieve exactly that. And with our pharma service business, Abacus Medicine Pharma Services, and our Dutch pharmaceutical wholesaler, Pluripharm, we provide better access to pharmaceutical products for even more patients, doctors
and pharmaceutical manufacturers.
The Abacus Medicine Group has grown fast since the beginning, and as we grow, we are able to make an ever-increasing contribution. To us, this is the hallmark of a sustainable business model.
Innovative
We believe anything is possible. We encourage original ideas. We are flexible and always ready to change plans if an opportunity arrives.
Dedicated
We are intensely focused on our tasks. We are relentless and willing to go that extra mile.
We care
We respect and value our fellow human beings: Internal colleagues, external business partners and the societies, we are part of. We do not act only in our own interest, but are conscious of others and believe in mutual, long-term partnerships.
Global
Today, our core business is in Europe. Tomorrow, we will be a global company. This is just as much about mindset, as it is about time zones and language versions. We must think and act globally.
Access
What we do, is all about access. We provide access to medicine in countries, where patients might not have it otherwise. We provide access for companies conducting clinical trials. When we make medicine more affordable through parallel trade, we also make it more accessible.
