Euro-Apteka Sp. z o.o. (Poland)

Euro-Apteka Sp. z o.o. is a pharmaceutical retail company operating the Euroapteka branded chain of community pharmacies across Poland. Established in 2001, the chain has developed a nationwide network of pharmacies located in major cities and regional centres, including high street outlets, pharmacies in shopping centres and units linked to healthcare facilities. The company business model is based on the retail sale of prescription medicines, over the counter drugs, medical devices, dietary supplements and a wide assortment of dermocosmetics and personal care products, complemented by basic pharmacy services and pharmaceutical counselling for patients. Euro-Apteka builds its commercial offer around competitive pricing, broad product availability and customer loyalty programmes, supported by centralised purchasing and logistics. The Euroapteka brand has historically been part of the international Euroapotheca pharmacy holding associated with the Vilniaus Prekyba group, which operates pharmacy networks in several European countries, giving the Polish chain access to group level purchasing power, category management know how and shared standards of pharmacy operations. Following a transaction cleared by the competition authority, the network in Poland has been integrated with DOZ SA, one of the largest pharmacy groups in the country, while continuing to operate under the Euroapteka banner in many locations. Through its network of more than several dozen outlets, Euro-Apteka serves local communities with everyday medicines and health products, focusing geographically on urban and suburban areas throughout Poland. Strategically the chain is positioned as a convenient, modern pharmacy network within a larger regional and national pharmacy group structure, leveraging economies of scale in procurement and marketing while maintaining local presence and service standards to compete in an increasingly consolidated Polish pharmacy market.
