HAUPPAUGE, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Amneal Pharmaceuticals is pleased to announce that the company has been honored with the Distribution Industry Award for Notable Achievements in Healthcare (DIANA) for Best Generic Product Manufacturer with Sales to Healthcare Distributors of Less Than $100 Million by the Healthcare Distribution Management Association (HDMA).

HDMA members independently voted for companies they believed demonstrated overall exceptional performance as a generics manufacturer and supplier.

The DIANA was announced at the June HDMA Business & Leadership Conference in Orlando, FL and rounds out a total of five major industry awards that Amneal has garnered in the past 18 months. Currently the 10th largest U.S. generics manufacturer in number of prescriptions dispensed, according to March 2010 data from IMS Health, the fast-growing pharmaceutical firm also earned the following honors:

  • Emerging Supplier, One Stop Sales Less Than $100 million from McKesson in May
  • 2010 Generic Vendor of the Year from Smith Drug in April
  • Generic Supplier of the Year - Under $50 Million from AmerisourceBergen in 2009

He continued, “We’re tremendously proud of what we have accomplished. Yet more significant than the actual awards is our customers’ validation of Amneal’s guiding principles, business philosophy and aggressive yet strategic growth plan.
