Who we are

Northrop Powers Corporation is one of the world’s most specialized wholesale pharmaceutical distribution companies serving global markets and focusing on the pharmaceutical supply chain. Servicing both pharmaceutical manufacturers and healthcare providers, the Company provides drug distribution and related services designed to reduce costs and improve patient outcomes.

Northrop Powers is headquartered in Minneapolis, MN with a network that spans the globe. As part of August Medical, we are a highly focused company choosing to specialize in underserved and developing markets by adhering to the U.S. Standard of Medical Care. This is what sets Northrop Powers apart from other wholesale pharmaceutical distribution companies - our focus on underserved and developing markets.

Developing markets in particular generally require additional services not usually provided by other distributors. For example and at times, the regulatory framework within a given developing market and/or economy must be altered or augmented to account for changes within the industry whether those changes are new products and services such as a new drug or structural changes such as the use of the Internet in procuring medically related products. At Northrop Powers we excel at consulting both institutional clients such as Ministries of Health and pharmaceutical manufacturers in developing markets to efficiently procure and distribute needed products and services to patients for their health and wellbeing.

Additionally, we strive to ensure cost efficiency within the healthcare system by using the scale of our operations to drive value for our customers. In addition to our ability to deliver pharmaceuticals on a just-in-time basis, we provide business support and consulting services to help our customers (both private and public) focus on their key strength of caring for patients. Northrop Powers is committed to a safe and secure pharmaceutical supply chain. We purchase all branded and generic pharmaceuticals either directly from the product’s manufacturer or approved wholesale distributors (depending on the requirements of the manufacturer, client or government agency).
