RONKONKOMA, N.Y. — Piping Rock Health Products was recently awarded CPG Supplier of the Year by McKesson Corp. in honor of their leadership in the consumer products industry at the McKesson Pharmaceutical National Sales Conference.
McKesson recognized Piping Rock at an annual event in honor of their work as a consumer products supplier. Piping Rock provides resources that support McKesson’s customers’ understanding of the vitamin and alternative health categories, which ultimately benefits patients.
Piping Rock Health Products offers an array of products including vitamins, supplements, powders and 100% pure essential oils. The company was recognized for achieving triple digit sales increases through McKesson and for launching a successful customer education program.
“We are extremely excited to be honored by McKesson with this award,” said Kimberly Vigliante, senior vice president of wholesale sales and marketing for Piping Rock. “I’d like to thank the many hard working and dedicated associates in both companies that came together, sharing the same passion, to achieve greatness.”
“At Piping Rock Health Products, we work closely with our partners to identify opportunities and provide innovative products to support their growth strategies. Our goal is to provide high-quality, innovative products that not only meet consumers’ needs, but drive foot traffic to the wellness aisle. By doing in house what many others outsource, we can guarantee quality, potency, and bring new, trending products to market quickly. This allows us to better support McKesson and its customers,” she added.
Chris Savage, vice president of category management for McKesson, said: “Our pharmaceutical distribution network depends on quality partners. It’s an honor to work alongside Piping Rock to help patients, support our customers and drive innovation.”
