Morris & Dickson, a leading pharmaceutical distributor, is set to open a new distribution center in Olive Branch, Mississippi. This expansion will enhance local employment and provide next-day delivery of vital medications. As the company aims to bolster customer support through strategic acquisitions, they continue to prioritize quality and integrity in healthcare delivery, making a significant impact on the local economy.
Olive Branch is buzzing with excitement as Morris & Dickson, one of the top ten pharmaceutical distributors in the United States, is set to make a significant impact on the local economy with their new distribution center. This expansion comes on the heels of the company achieving a prestigious milestone – they are now licensed to deliver pharmaceuticals and related products to all 50 states!
Founded in 1884, Morris & Dickson has seen a remarkable journey since evolving into a distributor in 1949. With an impressive yearly sales figure surpassing $6 billion in 2024, the company has established itself as a key player in the pharmaceutical industry. The company operates its main distribution facility out of Shreveport, Louisiana, where around 648 dedicated employees work hard to ensure efficient delivery of approximately 30,000 different products, including specialty drugs and high-cost medications for rare diseases. Given their long-standing commitment to supporting nearly 19,000 independent pharmacies nationwide, it’s clear that Morris & Dickson genuinely cares about enhancing patient access to essential medications.
The company is taking its operations to the next level with the construction of a new 97,200-square-foot distribution center located in Olive Branch, just a stone’s throw away from Memphis’ FedEx hub. This new facility is designed to greatly enhance efficiency, allowing for later order intakes, which means customers can place their orders until 9 p.m. for next-day delivery through FedEx. This means quicker access to medications, which is critical for those who need them the most.
Alongside their expansion, Morris & Dickson has made a strategic acquisition by bringing in Presa Solutions, a virtual logistics company. This savvy move aims to bolster customer support and improve order management, making it a strong alternative to industry giants such as AmerisourceBergen, Cardinal Health, and McKesson. With a focus on exceptional customer service, Morris & Dickson is well poised to meet the needs of pharmacies and patients alike.
Morris & Dickson takes pride in its commitment to product integrity and ensuring that patients have access to critical medications. Their advanced, automated distribution center at their Shreveport headquarters is a testament to their high standards, ensuring that every product they deliver meets stringent quality requirements—especially important when it comes to specialty and limited distribution drugs.
The construction of the new facility in Olive Branch is expected to create numerous job opportunities in the area, further stimulating the local economy. As Morris & Dickson expands its operations, they are making it a priority to engage with the community, aligning their growth goals with the welfare of the Olive Branch residents. The new distribution center is not just an investment in their business, but also in the community’s future.
With their new branding rollout and a refreshed web-based ordering system, Morris & Dickson is setting a high bar in the pharmaceutical distribution industry. As they continue to modernize and expand their operations, the commitment to exceptional customer service will remain at the heart of their business philosophy. This friendly and personalized approach is designed to ensure that every client feels supported and valued in their endeavor to provide quality healthcare solutions.
