CJ Distribution was formerly known as CJ Pharmaceuticals, a pharmaceutical wholesaler which opened its doors in Delmas, Mpumalanga, in 2004. The brainchild of a retail pharmacist who identified a need for a reliable wholesale partner in the supply chain, the formation of the company set the foundation for disruptive change in the industry. The introduction of Single Exit Pricing (SEP) in 2004 further reinforced the need for a reliable business partner which could support an independent pharmacy’s entire business operation. A venture which initially embraced the pharmacist and their store has evolved into the supply of services to a wide number of sectors, including hospitals, doctors, the FMCG market, emergency medical services, specialised medical and veterinary services and clinics.
