HSIC is the largest distributor of medical/ veterinary/ dental supplies in the US. It is a primary deliverer of influenza and other vaccines, and is now beginning to fill demand for this year's seasonal flu vaccine supply.It has a large number of European customers as well as those in the US, and has recently made several more foreign and local acquisitions.
N.B. Your "technology " listing is surprising --HSIC was distributing medical supplies before computers were in general use! It is commonly listed under"Medical Services/Medical Suppliers.
