Harbor Healthcare Consultants is pleased to announce the successful sale of Hopkinton Drug Compounding Pharmacy, a Massachusetts-based 503A compounding pharmacy and leading provider of compounded therapies serving patients across 35 states. The transaction brings together two independent pharmacies and creates tremendous value for both buyer and seller. Combining their geographic footprints, the acquiring pharmacy will maximize their growth strategy while the sellers participate in a well-planned strategic partnership.
“The team at Harbor Healthcare brought in a variety of acquirers that offered different opportunities for us. Our objectives were very specific, and we were conscious of how complex a pharmacy transaction can be.” said Dennis Katz, president of Hopkinton Drug. “I really do believe that having excellent representation in these complex transactions is critical. We are excited about the future growth of the new organizations and look forward to achieving success.”
“So many compounding pharmacy owners want to grow their businesses in today’s healthcare landscape. Because competition is fierce, they often perceive partnerships and sales as equity dilution and instead are hyper focused on mitigating risk. However, alliances, strategic partnerships, joint ventures and recapitalizations are all growth strategies. More specifically, they are complex methods where the characteristics of each company need to generate short-term and long-term synergies. Depending on where the business falls in its lifecycle, owners have key decisions to make when deciding on a partner. This transaction represents how out-of-the-box thinking in conjunction with the right buyer and seller creates tremendous value to both parties.” said Mark Alford, Managing Director at Harbor Healthcare.
