AUSTRALIAN pharmacy healthcare provider and Sigma Healthcare offshoot Amcal is marking eight decades as a trusted pharmacy franchise group as it celebrates its 80th birthday this month.
The milestone recognises Amcal's long history in Australia beginning in the 1930s as Allied Master Chemists of Australia Limited (A.M.C.A.L) developing into one of the largest pharmacy brands in Australia.
The brand's heritage stems from its inception in 1937 when 11 pharmacists joined forces to maximise buying power to offer competitive pricing and a greater product range to customers.
Sigma chief operating officer Gary Dunne (pictured), said pharmacists were extremely excited and proud to be relaunching the Amcal brand this year to commemorate 80 years of being at the forefront of Australian healthcare.
"Amcal's philosophy has always been to provide outstanding healthcare services to every customer and patient across Australia and we do this through a range of structured professional programs through our vast network of stores," Dunne said.
