Clonmel Healthcare Marks 55 Years and Secures Guaranteed Irish Status

Clonmel Healthcare has reached a significant milestone, celebrating its 55th anniversary while also achieving Guaranteed Irish status. Established in 1970, the company has become a leader in the Irish healthcare sector, recognized as the top generic supplier of medicines by both value and volume. The announcement was made during a celebratory event at the company’s headquarters in Clonmel on September 17, 2023.

Over the past five decades, Clonmel Healthcare has expanded to include two locations and a workforce of 70 employees. The company distributes more than 25 million packs of medicine annually, playing a critical role in ensuring that essential medicines are accessible and affordable for Irish families. “Celebrating 55 years in business is a testament to the dedication of our exceptional team and our unwavering commitment to the health and wellbeing of the Irish people,” said Donagh O’Leary, Managing Director of Clonmel Healthcare.

O’Leary emphasized that the company’s journey started from humble beginnings and has evolved into a vital part of the healthcare ecosystem in Ireland. “This anniversary is not just about looking back, but also about looking forward to how we can continue to innovate and serve our community,” he added.

Guaranteed Irish Status Reinforces Commitment

O’Leary expressed pride in this formal recognition, stating, “Achieving Guaranteed Irish status is a proud moment for everyone at Clonmel Healthcare. It formally recognizes our significant contribution to the Irish economy and our dedication to creating sustainable jobs.” He highlighted the company’s commitment to maintaining high standards of quality and innovation while being deeply rooted in Ireland.
