The story of Dimed began on September 21, 1967, when the two largest chains of drugstores in Rio Grande do Sul, Panitz and Velgos, were united in a Joint Venture, setting up a procurement and logistics center to supply the networks and other customers in the region. Now one of the leading drug distributors in Brazil and a pioneer in its segment, focusing mainly on supporting the operations of Panvel, it has two distribution centers, in the cities of Eldorado do Sul/RS and São José dos Pinhais/PR, strategically located to maximize efficiency. The DCs serve the current Panvel network and will be able to absorb the planned expansion, as well as supplying major regional customers.
The operational excellence of Dimed is based on its structure. With constant investment, Dimed ensures availability, frequency and accuracy in the services it provides to its customers.
